A few interesting things. 🧠

🚲 Communities across Massachusetts are stitching together a regional multiuse path network, building upon the long-term success of the Minuteman Bikeway. This network will be great for recreational cycling, but we’re even more excited for its potential to enhance access to transit and provide low-stress access into Downtown Boston. Check out a Streetsblog Mass trip report from the in-progress “Boston to Border” trail and an epic interactive map of current and future paths created by the Metropolitan Area Council. 🗺️

🚍 A deep dive on Contraflow Transit Lanes 💨

🥳 Some great news from Chicago, as successful efforts to hire new bus operators are allowing CTA to add more service. 🚌

⛽️ Interesting research on how public knowledge may change support for gas tax alternatives. 👩‍🏫
