Electric vehicles are making an increasingly bigger dent in oil use, both globally and in Australia. In 2022, they displaced the use of 1.5m barrels of oil a day. Daily global oil demand is around 97m barrels, so there's a long way to go.

But it is not electric cars doing most of the work. It is e-bikes and mopeds. These #micromobility devices are ten times as common as electric cars globally (led by widespread adoption in #China), and twice as popular as e-cars in Australia. In 2022, electric micromobility devices globally displaced more than four times as much oil as electric cars.

If you've never tried one, consider giving it a go. Most bike shops will give you a free test ride. Personally, getting an #ebike has been one of the best decisions I've made in the last few years and has been one important way of maintaining our household record of never having owned a car.

"Accumulating evidence suggests air pollution may contribute to the risk of developing dementia."

Air pollution is a silent public health emergency, killing 7 million people every year and damaging the health of many more.

In the 1960s, it seemed clear the future was the car. Amsterdam had its own plans to make the city more car-friendly. Some of these plans failed, others only partially.

Discover how radically different Amsterdam might have been had these plans succeeded. 👇

Ice sheets can collapse at 600 metres a day, far faster than feared.

Sediments from last ice age provide ‘warning from the past’ for Antarctica and sea level rise today.

To carry 50,000 people per hour per direction, a city needs... a 175 m wide road used only by cars, a 35 m wide road used only by buses, a 9 m wide track for metros.

In 1979, Fietsersbond made the original "Spatial Use" poster, which has since been distributed and duplicated the world over. Its message: See how much space you have left over when you invest in facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.

If you have to poison your lawn with pesticides and herbicides that kill wildlife, eliminate biodiversity and contaminate the ecosystem to "mantain" it... maybe it's not supposed to look like that.

The program of the 2023 @theAAG meeting looks fantastic. Lots of great sessions on transport & mobilities @AAG_TGSG + so many sessions on transport justice & equity that it feels like (as @FarberSteven said) a #TransportJustice conference within the AAG https://aag.secure-platform.com/aag2023/solicitations/39/sessiongallery?searchParams=%7B%22pageIndex%22%3A0%2C%22sortMode%22%3A%22SessionName%22%2C%22sortDirection%22%3A%22Ascending%22%2C%22sortByFieldId%22%3Anull%2C%22displayMode%22%3Anull%2C%22filterByFieldValues%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22filterByTextValue%22%3A%22Transportation%20Justice%22%2C%22filterByFavorites%22%3Afalse%2C%22filterByScheduleRoomIds%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22filterBySessionTypeIds%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22filterByScheduleDayIds%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22filterByScheduleTimeSlotIds%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22isScheduleOtherEventSearchAllowed%22%3Atrue%7D

A great fully-funded PhD opportunity to work with @karel_martens, looking at the gap between #BigData and #TransportJustice. Sometimes I wish I was crazy enough to pursue a second PhD.

Fully-funded PhD position!
My Fair Transport Lab has a fully-funded PhD position in a project that seeks to bridge the gap between big data and transport justice. For more information:

Never did the #introduction, so here we go 👋

I am Assoc Prof at ITU #Copenhagen, @nerdsitu, researching #HumanCentric #urban #DataScience 🚲 #Sustainable #mobility #BicycleNetworks 🕸️, #TransportJustice 🚙🔫. I come from #NetworkScience & #ComplexSystems. Lived in:🇦🇹🇺🇸🇩🇪🇭🇺🇩🇰

I created: https://datasci.social · https://GrowBike.Net · @nerdsitu · https://whatthestreet.com · https://pardus.at

I also like #DataViz 🌌 and playing #piano (#schubert, #chopin, #liszt,..). 🎹

If you're interested in transport accessibility methods to inform transport project evaluation and equity analyses, this preprint is for you :)

Just submitted it for a virtual presentation at the #AAG2023 in a session on #TransportJustice, org. by @MobilizingJust & collaborators
