Hi Friend,
The above photo is emblematic of my experience getting around in the District the past 10 days. A+ kudos to you if you were part of the effort digging out a path or clear bus stops even when it wasn't clear whose responsibility it was to do so. If you have more winter weather photos that show the pinch points of our infrastructure, please consider submitting them to the Flickr pool.
We're hiring! This time for a DC Organizer and a Development Manager. Read on to learn more. DC Organizer applications are due February 11, so if you think you might be a good fit, don't delay!
Next up, TranspoBINGO! I threw down the gauntlet and said I'd participate this year. Who's with me? RSVP and join in the fun. Perhaps take a train-bus journey to Denizens for a happy hour on February 11?
Learn more below. |

| Join our Breakfast Links team!
Our Breakfast Links Curators kickstart each day at GGWash, working with our editors to select six to 10 engaging stories that provide a snapshot of recent local urbanist news. One of our fantastic volunteers is leaving this spring. We'd love to welcome a new volunteer to help us fill that shift starting in March. Maybe it can be you? |

Who is responsible for unburying the bus stops?
The bus makes our region a more accessible place, including during nasty winter weather when those buses are (up to a point) able to push on through snowfall that many cars can’t. Icy berms, however, cancel out much of that accessibility. |
