500 emails to our elected leaders sent since yesterday! If you haven’t done it yet, sign this petition to your elected officials so that getting a PERMANENT funding solution for SEPTA is top of mind come January: 5thsqadvocacy.org/accelerate…
Now that PA Dems have their first trifecta in 33 years, we’re closer to having a fully funded SEPTA than ever before. Please sign this petition and ask your legislators on day 1 to have a plan ready for a PERMANENT funding solution: 5thsqadvocacy.org/accelerate…

PA needs this for reimagining regional rail.
New York State just authorized a land value tax that could generate billions of dollars for new transit.
For the @NiskanenCenter, @aarmlovi and I wrote about how the renewal of § 119-r in the FY27 budget could unlock a virtuous cycle of infrastructure delivery in NYC.

Pennsylvania Democrats finally have a trifecta. Now use it: fully fund transit statewide and get the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway and a reimagined Regional Rail shovel ready!

Polls just closed in PA! As a followup to my first election model, I built an NY Times style needle for the PA State Legislature.
First time doing this, so please be patient if anything breaks. It should update every few minutes as counties report:

Five days out and I made my first ever election model for the PA State Legislature.
In the Senate, Republicans keeping control is the most likely outcome at 43%, with a 29% chance of Democratic control and a 29% chance of a tie.
Would love feedback:

Yep. It is either a destination or a highway, it can't be both. High-speed traffic flow doesn't work with pedestrians. It has to be one or the other.
The problem is that Broad St is just too honkin big. We need a Less Broad plan to shrink the cartway with bus lanes and actual pedestrian infrastructure at the corners. Shrink the crossing distance. Make it seem smaller inquirer.com/columnists/broa…

shame on every elected official in philadelphia who won’t stand up to this grift inquirer.com/news/sheriff-ro…
a generation of Latin students were introduced to Patrick Stewart in Jenney's Second Year Latin textbook. RIP
this legit blows my mind. Does he get push polls? campaign ads on his sling tv?
He may be the leader of the Catholic church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections.

Philadelphia has been sitting on one of America's most GAME-CHANGING subway proposals for DECADES.
The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway could transform Northeast Philly:
• 12 miles of new rail
• 12 new stations
• 62,000+ projected daily riders
• Travel times cut by up to 40%
• Direct connection to the Broad Street Line
And the wildest part? This subway has been discussed for nearly a CENTURY.
Stop with the studies and BUILD IT.
Follow @BlvdSubway for the push to make it happen.
Philly, would you ride it?
Philly following NYC's dumbest ideas (under Eric Adams)
Containerization not czars!
