“Trust Is Infrastructure”: How LA Metro’s Nina Kin Is Building Better Data for Transit Riders on Bikes
/by Andrew WrightTo understand why data accuracy matters to LA Metro’s riders, Nina Kin — Tech Lead on LA Metro’s Digital Experience Team — often points to moments like this: It’s 7:48 a.m., and a parent on a tight schedule is trying something new: leaving the car at home. She drops her child at daycare, locks her […]
Pave First, and Ask Questions Later
/by Andrew WrightCalifornia Independent Electric Mobility Council Status Update
/by Andrew WrightA Better Path: Permanent Funding for E-Bikes
/by Andrew WrightResponse to CARB on Ending the E-Bike Incentive Project
/by Andrew WrightCARB’s decision to absorb the remaining funding from the E-Bike Incentive Project into Clean Cars 4 All is a telling political moment—one that mistakes “cleaner cars” for genuine progress. It’s easier to imagine replacing every gas car with an electric one than to imagine a California where people can move freely without cars at all. […]
How South Bay Cities Enforce Car Dependence by Design
/by Andrew WrightThe Week Without Driving seeks to highlight that nearly a third of Californians can’t rely on driving for their personal mobility. This year, the South Bay Transit Summit in Torrance also exposed how overlapping systems of infrastructure, regulation, and enforcement leave even willing bike riders few real choices. In the South Bay, this coercion isn’t […]
DOT’s Dead-End Logic
/by Andrew WrightDOT’s Dead-End Logic On September 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation canceled grants for bike lanes, safer intersections, and pedestrian facilities with a stunning rationale: they were “hostile to motor vehicles.” In San Diego, a safety project was rescinded because it “appears to reduce lane capacity and a road diet that is hostile to […]
What to Expect When You Are Expecting a Bikeway
/by Andrew WrightThis post is sponsored by Bike Legal: At Bike Legal, we advocate for protected bike lanes that separate cyclists from motor vehicle traffic. Yet even the best infrastructure cannot remove every danger. We encourage riders to protect themselves by always wearing a helmet and using lights even during the day to increase visibility. Safer streets […]
A bike-first standard for “self-driving” claims
/by Andrew WrightIf an automaker wants to imply a car can drive independently, as certain manufacturers do with terms like “autopilot” and “full self driving” , the minimum requirement should include a high standard for safety around bicycles and other vulnerable road users, verified publicly. The League of American Bicyclists already outlines what competence for AVs looks […]
Bike-Friendly Bills Bite the Dust
/by Laura McCamyAfter several years of successful campaigns, including passing the Freedom to Walk Act,the Complete Streets Bill, and securing $1 billion for the Active Transportation Program, 2025 is shaping up to be a dismal year for active transportation efforts in Sacramento. A combination of budget shortfalls, literal and metaphorical fires, and a federal government openly hostile […]
Arroyo Vista’s Bike Bus: A Community in Motion
/by Andrew WrightIt was a verdant September morning in South Pasadena when we joined the Arroyo Vista Elementary School Bike Bus. The sun was just beginning to warm the streets, bicycle bells rang out like punctuation marks, and the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack floated through the air. What could have been a routine Tuesday became something else […]
California’s E-Bike Voucher Program: Retailers Weigh In
/by Andrew WrightWhen California launched its long-awaited E-Bike Incentive Project in 2024, applicants weren’t the only ones navigating uncharted territory. Retailers had to figure out how to translate vouchers into bikes on the ground. CalBike spoke to Upway, the retailer that has processed multiple vouchers and recently opened its West Coast headquarters in Redondo Beach. Two Paths […]
