It is extra unfortunate that Oregon Democrats have failed to fund transit & cut investment in bicycling/rail as a fuel crisis begins
There are transportation alternatives Oregon should have invested in, but they took every opportunity to support cars above all

I’m disappointed that we continue to have representatives with these priorities, but I think there is something to be said for the general public’s disinterest around transit funding
Testimony submitted was approximately ~150 pieces, which is not a lot given the scope of the bill
#orleg #transitsky
There is still time to submit testimony to the Oregon legislature and call your representatives
Don’t let them kneecap our rail funding and direct bike registration fee to supporting highways

Transportation advocate have warned legislators that highway expansion funding is unsustainable and now the that bill is coming due they’re cutting bicycle and train funding to make up for part of it
Please write into your legislators

Yeah I agree with @stephenkb.bsky.social here. #WashingtonDC #Metro stations some of my favourites in world. #TransitSky
This isn’t Corvallis specific but if you want to help secure funding for transit please write in
In context of how much highway expansions cost, 3 million is tiny

Here is a little side project I recently put together to shed some light on the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) network in Campinas, Brazil. Like many other cities across South America, Campinas eventually caught on to the utterly viral BRT frenzy! Other modes of transportation (such as trolleybuses and light rail) had been proposed earlier to ease road congestion and improve mobility across a metropolitan area home to more than 3.5 million inhabitants, but the idea of implementing a BRT system ultimately won out in 2011. However, it took a little over a decade before the BRT network began to be gradually brought into service, starting with the launch of BRT20 on Corredor Campo Grande in 2022. Corredor Ouro Verde followed in 2023 with the opening of BRT10. Corredor Perimetral opened last in 2024, completing the originally planned network. As shown on the map, the system consists of seven lines, distributed across three major corridors totaling almost 37km: Campo Grande, Ouro Verde and Perimetral. When heading towards the city center, some lines extend beyond their dedicated eastern terminal (Mercado or Central) to run along what is locally known as Corredor Central - a ring-like collection of five one-way avenues looping through the city center, where regular traffic and urban transit are physically segregated. After completing their loop - serving both Terminal Mercado and Terminal Central along the way - these lines rejoin their respective corridors to continue their outbound journey. Lines operating on the Ouro Verde and Perimetral corridors stop at all stations up to one of three main terminals - BRT12 to Santa Lúcia, BRT10 to Ouro Verde and BRT11 to Vila Nova. Lines running along Corredor Campo Grande also serve either of two major terminals: Satélite Íris and Campo Grande. Additionally, they are further divided into all-stops ("parador") for BRT20 and BRT25 or semi-express ("semi-espresso") services for BRT21 and BRT26.

This is HB 4085
You can read it on the oregon legislature website and it exempts robotaxis from some equipment requirements and prevents local governments from regulating, taxing, or requiring a license for these networks

Happy Groundhog Day! Also today is the start of the Oregon Legislative session for 2026 which runs for 35 days
My focus will of course be transportation, but you can use the below website to track any bill

#transit #transitsky #bus question, why does the FTA require buses to be replaced after 12 years or 500,000 miles? like what is the logic behind this requirement?
What happens when microtransit is run fully in-house? A three-year pilot in WA offers lessons on data, scalability, workforce experience, and long-term sustainability.

Stylized unofficial homemade map titled “Railways of Jamaica” showing the island’s railway network. Orange landmass with dark blue sea; towns like Kingston, Montego Bay, and Port Antonio are labeled. Lines mark discontinued passenger routes and active mineral railways. Symbols indicate stations, halts, mining sites, and shipping ports. Compass points north. Designed for visual clarity and geographic context.

Please write your representatives and tell them to redirect funds from Highway expansions (such as the rose quarter) to transit & maintenance
We cannot let safety programs be sacrificed to fund our addiction to building highways

This project creates a protected bike corridor, raises pedestrian crossings, adds patio space for restaurants, & overall makes the street better for pedestrians
Hopefully in the future we can increase the bus frequency and extend the lanes downtown

There has recently been an update for the Corvallis Monroe family corridor Study
The preferred concept remains unchanged but the city feels parking management strategies will be needed
A final meeting at C3 is planned for 6:30 pm on Feb 5
