HB 3187 (the Texas House bill to cut DART) died last night! Time ran out to schedule it for a vote on the House floor. Huge victory for @ridewithdata.org! The game’s not over yet, because SB 1557 (that does the same thing) is still floating out there, but the HB dying is major progress.

Dallas has the lowest voter turnout of any major US city. This is why we continue to see a Dallas with slow change. Join Urbanist groups of Dallas to go to the polls this Sunday. Vote for a walkable, bikeable, transit rich, affordable Dallas. Vote for Urbanism.
Join us tomorrow at Four Corners Brewing Co for our Spring General Meeting! Speakers: Catherine Richardson, NCTCOG Regional Bike Safety Action Plan Rose Thompson, Black Women Who DFW Tameca Harris, Bike Friendly South Dallas This event is free to attend, but please RSVP so we know to expect you 👇
This year, Dallas was named a Bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community! But what does that mean & how do we improve? Join the Dept. of Transportation & Public Works in partnership with the Bike League for a 1.5 day workshop on April 23-24 to discuss opportunities to make cycling safer in our city.
Leave a comment on the bike plan at dallasbikeplan2025.org! Join DBC in sending a clear message to our city's leadership- we need more funding and we need to build a basic bike network faster than 20 years. Dallas roads are dangerous, and this is a solution.
Today we’re announcing our 2025 advocacy goals to the public! Pass the Bike Plan 👉 Build the Bike Plan 👉 Make it safe We need more funding and we have to build faster. Dallas roads are dangerous and this is a solution 👇
Community advocacy is necessary to be sure Dallas not only passes the forthcoming Dallas Bike Plan but also to be sure the city implements the projects citywide. Dallas had a great plan in 2011, but very little of it was built. youtu.be/kcnE0v5ufDg?... @bikedallas.bsky.social @bikedfw.bsky.social

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com
The Case For Protected Bike Lanes
Giving cyclists their own space results in some pretty big benefits beyond just a lack of dead cyclists.

It amazes me how passionately small business owners fight to preserve street parking for vehicles that eclipse their very presence, while pushing back against human-scale forms of transportation that blend seamlessly into the urban fabric.
Urban life thrives when designed for people, not just cars. Safe, active routes give families the freedom to enjoy the journey, transforming routine trips into experiences full of connection and discovery.
Dallas has a new city manager. My new blog post details how critical she is to funding, planning, and building a safe citywide on-street bike network for all ages and all abilities. @bikedallas.bsky.social @biketexas.bsky.social #Dallas #VisionZero dallasbicyclecoalition.org/blog/post/ne...
