I'm willing to compromise by calling for interurban mass transit investment across the entire United States.
Henry Grabar@henrygrabar.bsky.social · 3d agomy takeaway: the northeast really needs some interurban-style mass transit investment. there's a non-zero number of people in the NEC who own cars just to go away for the weekend! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/t...
Hello, Bluesky, there is still one #WeekWithoutDriving tote left but there won't be for long once I finally send a newsletter out (and day now...). So get your dibs before you have competition.

Hey King County WA folks! Is anyone(s) available to write a letter of support for a Snoqualmie Valley Transportation grant application? I have a sample letter that would need to be tailored to address recreational access offered by rural transit providers. I do not have the bandwidth at the moment.
Even unintentional. I've had a stressful week, for reasons, & so an extra-full/distracted brain, so quite a few occasions that I did weird things/didn't see stuff/ that normally I'd never miss. Been thinking a lot about what if I was driving in that state and how easy it would be to cause damage.
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · 3w agoI'm not an alarmist person but I don't think the World Cup is the only time someone might want to do a lot of damage by driving through a crowd at Pike Place Market and I think the infrastructure should reflect that reality.
Woot! You can now RSVP for this #WeekWithoutDriving outing, with Transit Trekker and King County Parks. We'll enjoy the trip and also talk about the barriers we need to remove to put much more outdoor recreation in easy reach for nondrivers. transittrekker.com/2026wwdmaury...

Sorry, I won't be using any tools that require me to have a goggle account. I will unsnare myself from them yet!
We are happy to report that the tracks north of Portland are opening! Tomorrow, on August 19, all Amtrak Cascades trains resume normal service, except Train 500 which will resume on Thursday, August 20. Let your summer travel plans resume. We’ll drive! 💚🤎🤍
Just hit send on a letter to King County Metro and Parks asking to just let folks ride from Seattle to North Bend for the full schedule. Thanks to all the co-signing advocates! @nondriver.bsky.social @jazzyspraxis.bsky.social @kellireef.bsky.social @jasonli468.bsky.social @nicksattele.bsky.social
Transit Trekker@transittrekker.bsky.social · 3mo ago1/2 Remember this? And my suggestion that Metro should allow people to board the afternoon runs? Yesterday, I learned why they refuse. And I think it demonstrates how easy it is for car-based land managers’ and outdoor professionals’ imaginations to fail.

YES IT WAS THE BEST THING ABOUT ZION AMONG MANY BEST THINGS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY ALL THE POPULAR PARKS DON'T HAVE IT! Bryce ALSO had a shuttle system (but didn't block out cars). I have no idea why other parks don't have them. Like parking at Yellowstone was hell but no other options.
Recently connected with a group that is interested in campaigning for transit to/in Mt. Rainier National Park. Doing a little research and found this helpful background on the origin of Zion's shuttle system. www.nps.gov/articles/000...

There’s a good update to this petition! Sounds like Joe from @718outdoors.bsky.social heard back from his assemblymen, who is going to contact the state agency to see about changing the rules. 
Transit Trekker@transittrekker.bsky.social · 2mo agoBTW, there are many policies that disincentivize or even punish cyclists or folks who arrive and use campgrounds without a car. Lots of variation and lots of autonormativity at public parks across jurisdictions.

No word about whether the Wahkiakum Ferry allows livestock like the Guemes Ferry, but treats may be available to pets! "We do allow pets to ride on the ferry so long as they are restrained by a leash. Crew will give treats to the pet as well if the owner allows."
A theme here is that if a person inside city government intervenes on behalf of a restaurant losing parking spots or a random driver getting a parking ticket, that's seen as constituent services. If another government insider works on behalf of keeping people alive, that's seen as advocacy.
