At least in my city (~80k population), the municipal code mandates a certain "Level of Service", i.e., vehicles cannot be delayed more than 45 seconds. Speed limits must be set to an 85th percentile driver, however fast they drive. There's nothing saying pedestrians shouldn't die.

MTC provides TDA funds to each city for public transit. How much do they get from that? (I know about Article 3 funds for bike/ped programs. The other two things are "streets and roads" and "public transportation".)

Anyone who has worked in manufacturing knows it takes years to ramp up a new factory - more than one presidential term. They have to be confident in the ROI.

Not necessarily. Some are jolts and some are rollers. I don't know for sure, but I think it depends on the angle from the epicenter or something about the shape of the tectonic plate that shifted. (Can somebody link to a good explanation?)

I saw the segment last night - thank you so much for continuing what you do! We have fantastic universities on the West Coast that should be able to help with research. I'm hopeful that other states will join the effort and bring their resources.

I asked my local Indivisible group why they use FB and IG (and Google everything). "We have to go where the people are." No, you can build a presence somewhere that isn't evil! They will follow.

The Mayor of our city just bought an e-cargo bike (I know, right!?!?). And now he looks at our city's bike racks like, "hmm, I can park here."
