New polling from the Governors Highway Safety Association is a stark reminder that children remain extremely vulnerable to traffic as they travel to and from school. Thank you to @fox5dc for highlighting this important issue. fox5dc.com/video/fmc-64h4hfj… @Lokay

Strong women are leading the way in traffic safety. I asked @SusanPage what female leaders have in common from road safety to global politics. They didn’t set out to make history. They did it anyway. That same tenacity drives women in roadway safety. piped.video/watch?v=c3d60PVM…

This is truly the worst thing that could happen for the Big Ten. This is a major college football scandal that is going to resonate beyond sports coverage and, I predict, cost someone or multiple people their jobs. It cannot happen. I want investigations and firings now.

I'm glad the COO Elmer is gone. We politely raised concerns with him about the condition of the property and he was very dismissive and in denial. @BradMcElhinny
If you squint, you can start to see how the role of the New York financial firm Kennedy Lewis Investment Management may take shape around West Virginia’s historic Greenbrier Hotel. buff.ly/eGFQpTL

More good news in roadway safety: if this trend holds, 2026 will mark the fifth straight year of declining traffic fatalities. This isn’t a blip or an aberration — it’s steady progress. @davidshepardson detroitnews.com/story/busine…

There is much more to do but a combination of approaches is leading to this progress: renewed support of traffic enforcement, safer roads and vehicles, better use of technology and more community engagement.

The New York City ‘Crime Reduction Miracle’ that began in 1990 and has continued to the present day began in the subways when the Transit Police started to enforce fare evasion laws. One out of every seven evaders stopped was wanted on a warrant, while one out of every 21 was carrying an illegal weapon. How do I know? I was Chief of the Transit Police that began that initiative. In 1994, as Police Commissioner, the enforcement of quality-of-life minor crime offenses like fare evasion, coupled with CompStat focus on serious crime, accelerated the crime decline and dramatic improvement in public safety in New York, and indeed around the country. Those who don't know their history or ignore it, like the ACLU, are doomed to repeat it. amny.com/nyc-transit/fare-ev…
