As families gather this holiday season, we’re reminded that public transit does more than move people—it expands opportunity and supports families. In Atlanta, MARTA brings these benefits to life for thousands who rely on safe, reliable transit for work, school, and daily life. 🧵

On paper Austin has a long way to go towards Vision Zero. But there are some under-the-radar successes that could help other other cities weather the state and federal headwinds that virtually all locales will battle in the years to come.

Like many U.S. cities, Austin has a long way to go to achieve #VisionZero but they're not retreating. They're doubling down on what *is* working. Read the impressive 10-year report. We *know* what works to improve safety. Let's scale it up: publicinput.com/visionzero10...

"The results [of fixed speed cameras on high-crash corridors] were dramatic:
71% decrease in speeding (drivers going 1 mph or more over the limit)
94% decrease in extreme speeding (11 mph or more over the limit)
43% reduction in both total crashes and speed-related crashes"
Impressive safety gains
