Administration: building roads will lower wildfire risk. Reality: wildfire ignitions in national forests are highest in lands within 50m of roads (7.99 fires/1000 ha), lowest in wilderness areas (1.75 fires/1000 ha) and designated roadless areas (1.97 fires/1000 ha). Roads = people. People = fire.
Three-decade record of contiguous-U.S. national forest wildfires indicates increased density of ignitions near roads - Fire Ecology
Background Roads play an important role in managing fire on the national forests. But roads also are known to increase ignitions and damage ecosystems. Roads may limit the size of wildfires, which may...

Simon Templar@karpovsmachine.bsky.social · 3d agoThere's a lot of people out there who put a LOT of their self-worth into being a car-owner, and the idea that they might be the problem is devastating to their psyche.
One thing about speeding that many drivers refuse to accept: In urban and suburban environments, speeding doesn't even get you somewhere significantly faster. You are just getting to your next red light or highway choke point faster. You are endangering other people for almost no upside.
Wish there was growing backlash against violent drivers in proportion to the harm they cause
NPR@npr.org · 5d agoMillions of drivers across the country are encountering speed cameras for the first time, or will soon. Some don't like it, but advocates say there's clear evidence that cameras make roads safer. n.pr/4gwT62D

Cars are dangerous for people outside of them, they are LOUD, they pollute the air and water (microplastics from tire wear for starters), which is a significant public health concern. Plus, cars require a TON of public space to drive and park that all of us subsidize indirectly. 13/15

Cyrus Hall@cyrushall.bsky.social · 5d agoHydrogen trains are a scam. Slow and power inefficient if powered by electrolysis, but largely powered by hydrogen created from steam methane reforming. It's greenwashing, promoted by fossil fuel giants. @streetsforall.org reviews the situation in California in a new video.

E-Bikes Mean Freedom for Low-Vision Bicyclists
Recently enacted and proposed regulations requiring licenses or insurance for e-bike riders threaten a vital transportation lifeline for Americans who can’t drive.

Borrower Story: Last night someone checked out a bike from us. He forgot to request a Yepp seat, so came back just now to have that installed. He's had the bike for less than 24 hours and already said his family has decided they need to buy a cargo bike. The magic of bike libraries!

Your city isn’t doing enough to address the climate crisis. We are beyond the time for incremental changes like EVs - cities need to be getting people out of cars, which means significantly increasing housing density and investing in high frequency transit.
