Here's our roundup of this week's must-read posts.

Did you know DC's trails have rangers? Well, you might be seeing a lot more of them now that the program has been extended to be year-round, seven days per week.

Another program you may not have heard about: VetsRide, which provides some DC veterans free transportation.

In the housing space, a bill passed by the DC Council is expected to help some low-income residents suffering from the long after-effects of an eviction filing.

When someone is killed in a car crash, who do we blame? GGWash Deputy Director Caitlin Rogger makes the case against victim-blaming, arguing it detracts from the systemic thinking we need to solve traffic violence.

Finally, read an update from our Executive Director, Chelsea Allinger, on how GGWash plans on doing endorsements in the coming election season.
