Lifelong intermodalist. Serial entrepreneur. Global intermodal thought leader and teacher. Firm believer that intermodal can deliver sustainability solutions.
This piece should remind us of the hidden strength of inertia and the unwillingness to change the status quo. It is also a clear illustration of the difficulties of matching costs and benefits. (Think EVs using highway but not paying fuel taxes.) This incorporates the core Intermodal challenge. Whether freight or intermodal, the tradeoff is between a single vehicle movement versus using multiple modes. People living more than a mile from the subway do not believe that there is seamless connectivity between bus and subway.

Buses carry the most precious cargo of all - your family members, friends and loved ones. Whether you’re a motorist, bus driver, passenger or pedestrian, all road users need space to keep bus journeys safe. The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s ‘We All Need Space’ campaign highlights the importance of following road rules around buses to keep passengers and other road users safe: • Give Way to merging buses - it's the law • Make sure you give buses more space when you overtake • Leave two lanes for turning buses. Find out more about the campaign at https://lnkd.in/giKVWfFA

‘Flex Lanes’: Beating This Summer’s Commute Get ready, Central Florida drivers! Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) announced that ‘Flex Lanes’ are coming to State Road 417 and State Road 429 this summer. What are ‘flex lanes’? They are a first-in-Florida concept designed to reduce traffic congestion during accidents and rush hour. CFX will be installing 55 overhead flex lane sign gantries along SR 417 and 31 gantries along SR 429. When overhead signs show a green arrow, the flex lanes are open, allowing you to drive on the shoulder and bypass traffic jams. If you see a red X, it means the lane is closed, and a yellow X indicates it’s about to open or close. So get ready, Central Florida! Starting this summer, you’ll have a new way to beat the traffic and get where you need to go faster.

Some interesting facts…..the first bus lane in the US was built in 1969. When I saw this, I did a quick check on when the first bus lane in London was built…..and it was in 1968. And that was on Vauxhall bridge. So the US built its first bus lane just one year after London. For me, this implies that public transport did have a significant role in the US transportation system at some point. Inspite of the country’s big car culture, the fact that someone deemed it fit to implement a bus lane in 1969 says a lot. So the question everyone would ask is, when did US public transport become an option of last resort? The good news is, public transport awareness in the US is growing daily and with the threat of global warming, it can only get better. #publictransport
Did you know? The first exclusive bus lane on an urban highway, the Shirley Highway Busway, opened in September 1969 to carry commuters between northern Virginia and downtown Washington DC. FTA and FHWA collaborated with local transit authorities, including Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and Virginia Department of Transportation to set up the innovative project, which immediately cut commuting times by an average of 15 minutes, decreased congestion and air pollution, and demonstrated the potential benefits of bus-only lanes to move transit riders more quickly and efficiently. After 1974, carpools were also permitted to use the lanes. Today, FTA supports bus rapid transit, many in exclusive lanes, to deliver fast and efficient service across the country.
