Why does #DaylightSaving having to take an hour from my Sunday? Can’t we all agree it should take an hour out of Monday instead, like maybe skipping from 4 to 5 pm?

Just purged my follows and imagine I'll be deactivating Twitter in the near future. Regardless I'll shift to posting more transportation and research related stuff over at LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/nathan-mcnei…). Open to suggestions on other places to enegage!

The long-running @portland_state @PBOTinfo Portland Traffic & Transportation class has been replicated in Salt Lake City, and the successful community academy model is being adapted for other regions too. Learn more in a @NITC_UTC Webinar Thursday Oct 20: nitc.trec.pdx.edu/events/pro…

There's a giant motorcade rolling through Portland. Anyone know what for? – at Portland, OR
Nice work @DrTaraGoddard! Beyond people being priced out of safety, I wonder about the impacts of the negative safety externalities on lower income communities (maybe offset by the likely negative correlation with vehicle size?) – at Portland, OR

New research from @DrTaraGoddard and team shows that blind spot detection, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning are less likely to be included in less-expensive vehicle packages. doi.org/10.32866/001c.38291

How can community members become more engaged in transportation decision making? The Wasatch Transportation Academy at @UUtah was piloted in 2022, supported by NITC and in consultation with @UtahGOPB @UtahDOT @rideUTA @SLCoGov @SLCgov & @WasatchCouncil. nitc.trec.pdx.edu/news/wasat…
Group photo: Twenty students and instructors pose on the steps of a building, smiling toward the camera. They are the Spring 2022 Wasatch Transportation Academy pilot class, on a field trip to look at transportation infrastructure in the Salt Lake City region of Utah.

I love @waitwait, but not wild about this week's segment mocking parents who take kids to chiropractor care. For some kids with cerebral palsy or other conditions it can make a big difference.
