The impact of #RideOn extends beyond transportation. It's been a driving force for economic development🏦, helping workers👥 reach their jobs, customers access businesses🛍️, and students🎒 travel to schools and universities. For many, it is more than just a bus🚍 ride, it is a vital link to opportunity.

Note that #LincolnCountyOR does have a #BikePedAdvisoryCommittee. But it meets only 4X a year in Newport. The only city in the county with its own #bicycle advisory cmte is also #Newport.

Along with advising on walking & cycling as transportation, committees advise on #busTransit use, since people walk & bike to the bus on #Oregon #ODOT hwys. They also ensure that cities & police depts are capturing crash data on #micromodes, & use bike funds on biking. #ORleg #ActiveTransportation #VisionZero

Fei Li spoke with Governing Magazine about our latest paper #bustransit #employment #poverty https://www-governing-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.governing.com/community/new-evidence-links-transit-cuts-with-poverty-and-unemployment?_amp=true

I got into an argument with my parents where I agreed with the idea that #electriccars are bad and still fundamentally wasteful. I suggested that the answer is the proven technology of #bustransit & #railtransit... which somehow devolved into a political topic.
