BREAKING: I’m hearing the great Donald Shoup has passed away.

Few urbanists can really be called game-changers, but Shoup powerfully changed how we see parking rules and their huge affect on cities.

The recent revolution in parking standards was inspired by his unique work.

Thank you Donald. #RIP

A driver killed our neighbor Michael Burawoy last night while he was crossing Grand Ave in the crosswalk in front of Fairyland 😢

Our hearts reach out to his family, friends, students, and everyone else who is mourning this tremendous loss

🚨 Keep OakDOT independent! 🚨

OakDOT has proven highly effective at delivering critical safety improvements. Merging them with OPW puts this success at risk

Tell Council to reject a hasty merger and push for thoughtful, long-term solutions instead

Let's revise California fire code to consider traffic safety as a priority.
Here's our comments for the 2025 California Fire Code revision

First design safe narrower streets, then choose fire trucks which work on those streets.
Current fire code encourages wider streets, which lead to speeding, which leads to fatalities and injuries.

This is the last day to provide your input on the Oakland General Plan! 
The two most important questions on the survey from a transportation perspective are the map-based Question #9 (“Where would you want to see these amenities or services?”) and Question #12 (“Transportation Issues and Solutions”). These are key!

Transport Oakland is a non partisan organization, so we reached out to all candidates.
Mindy grew up in NYC and had positive thoughts about transit.
It was interesting to hear her.
And it was great to hear Shawn Danino, Rowena Brown, and Charlene Wang
