A new report from the Urban #Transport Group (UTG) calls for greater investment in walking, wheeling and #cycling to create more integrated public transport networks. It says 43% of urban journeys under five miles are walked or cycled, while 68% of residents want more direct routes between homes and bus stops. Some 70% want pavements free from parked cars, while 88% of women feel unsafe walking alone after dark. The report, From Doorstep to Destination: Enabling joined-up journeys, says every public transport trip starts and ends with a local journey. It recommends wider use of low-cost zebra crossings, stronger action on pavement parking, better street design and maintenance, improved safety, more cycle parking at stations and greater emphasis on active travel in new developments. The report supports the Government’s target for 55% of short urban journeys to be walked or cycled by 2035. https://www.urbantransportgroup.org/resources/types/press-release/doorstep-to-destination-report

Drohnenabwehr ist und bleibt eine hoheitliche, also staatliche Aufgabe und ist nichts für Glücksritter aka private Sicherheitsunternehmen! Und was die Krisenkommunikation von Innenminister Dobrindt angeht, überlässt er die Deutungshoheit den Akteuren, was die Verunsicherung der Bevölkerung anfeuert! # KRITIS Sektor #Transport und #Verkehr Leipzig-Vorfall legt Lücken in der Drohnenabwehr offen – Experten warnen "Laut Manuel Atug müsse man sich..." https://www.fr.de/politik/experten-warnen-nach-drohnenvorfall-in-leipzig-sind-noch-nicht-gut-genug-zr-94431278.html

Cars get a pass of course ... It’s understandable that Chicago is using geofencing to keep e-scooter riders from injuring pedestrians. What are we doing to prevent drivers from killing them? "But it’s important to remember that the most serious threat to pedestrians on Sheridan is not e-bike or e-scooter riders, but drivers" #cycling #transport #infrastructure https://chi.streetsblog.org/2026/08/03/its-understandable-that-chicago-is-using-geofencing-to-keep-e-scooter-riders-from-scaring-pedestrians-what-are-we-doing-to-prevent-drivers-from-killing-them

As Charlotte Woodworth argues (in a post on LInkedIn) we should see busses not as a back-up for those without cars, rather it would be great to see them presented as the preferred transport (for green & social reasons). And, given that women are much larger bus users, it would be great to see cheaper & expanded bus provision as a clear gendered social benefit, stressing its positive impact for (especially) key workers getting to work. A positive case for busses! #busses #politics #transport

#UK #Government guidance allows #English councils to create new local authority bus companies (LABCos) after the Bus Services Act 2025 removed the previous restriction. The guidance outlines legal, financial, governance and operational issues councils should consider before setting one up. A LABCo is optional and one of several ways to improve bus services, alongside franchising and enhanced partnerships. Councils must assess the benefits, funding, leadership, skills and long-term sustainability before proceeding. They can create a new company or buy an existing operator, with options to run services independently or as part of wider transport arrangements. The guidance also covers procurement, subsidy control, employment matters and local government changes. Existing LABCos include #Blackpool Transport, #Ipswich Buses, #Nottingham City #Transport, Reading Buses and Warrington’s Own Buses. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/establishing-a-new-local-authority-bus-company-labco
