Technicians integrate NASA’s four PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) satellites to the evolved expendable launch vehicle secondary payload adapter array ring inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. PUNCH will study origins of the Sun’s outflow of material, or the solar wind, capturing continuous 3D images of the Sun’s corona and the solar wind’s journey into the solar system. The PUNCH mission is launching as a rideshare with NASA’s SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) observatory scheduled to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 10:09 p.m. EST (7:09 p.m. PST), Friday, Feb. 28, 2025, at Space Launch Complex 4 East from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Transportation in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada has many of the features of modern cities worldwide. Unlike many large metropolises, Vancouver has no freeways into or through the downtown area. A proposed freeway through the downtown was rejected in the 1960s by a coalition of citizens, community leaders and planners. This event "signalled the emergence of a new concept of the urban landscape" and has been a consistent element of the city's planning ever since.
As the city is surrounded by water on three sides, it has several bridges to the north and south. Although similar to most other cities in that the automobile serves as the primary mode of transportation, it has alternatives such as the SkyTrain system, which is the longest fully automated light metro system in the world,[1] and an extensive network of bicycle paths.
Vancouver is one of the only major cities in North America without ridesharing services (such as Uber), due to a provincial law banning their operation.[2]
Public transportation
The Metro Vancouver operates a regional rapid mass transit network, under the auspices of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (formerly Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority). Known as TransLink, it is responsible for all aspects of municipal transportation. In addition to public transport, TransLink is also responsible for maintaining some roads and providing ferry service within the Lower Mainland.
TransLink introduced a smart card based electronic payment system called Compass Card to replace existing monthly and daily passes, tickets and cash.[3][4] Translink has been slowly phasing in use of the Compass Card. Summer 2015 saw most post-secondary school students begin using the fare cards. Translink rolled out the card to the general population in November 2015.[5] The Compass Card has a [C$]6 refundable deposit.[6] It is a NXP Mifare DESFire EV1 card.[7]
Bus service[edit]
Electric trolley bus
Bus service operates throughout most the region under a subsidiary of Translink, known as Coast Mountain Bus Company. TransLink was established by the provincial government as a way to divorce itself from the responsibilities of roads, bridges and transit service. Ultimately the provincial government retains responsibility for funding of all projects under the aegis of Translink.[8] Service in West Vancouver and Lions Bay is contracted through West Vancouver Blue Bus.
All buses are wheelchair-accessible and carry cycle racks; they can carry one or two wheelchairs and bicycles. Vancouver is actively maintaining and upgrading its trolleybus fleet. With purchases of 188 E40LFRs and 74 E60LFRs from New Flyer Industries (in 2005–2009),[9] the trolley network serves the downtown core and much of the city of Vancouver proper with fully wheelchair-accessible and bicycle-friendly zero-emission buses.
Certain diesel commuter buses which travel to the suburbs as RapidBus have bicycle racks, wheelchair lifts, reading lights and high back reclining seats. Frequency in Greater Vancouver ranges from every couple of minutes within downtown Vancouver to two to three trips a day in far-flung suburbs such as Maple Ridge, Langley, and Aldergrove.

Dear Friends,
Apologies for the hastily cobbled-together impersonal mass e-mail.
Hopefully I can make it up to you by the exciting invitation I am
about to extend:
PLEASE JOIN OCCUPY DES MOINES FOR THE FIRST-IN-THE-NATION OCCUPY IOWA CAUCUS!
12/26 - 1/3
Des Moines, IA
The Occupy Iowa Caucus has been generating interest around the world.
We've got folks coming from Boston, NYC, LA, Chicago, Detroit,
Minneapolis, Kansas City, Omaha and all over the state of Iowa. We've
already had camera crews from CNN, the UK, Japan, and Sweden following
us around and the Iowa Caucus Media Circus hasn't even begun!
caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2011/12/15/occupy-des-moin...
www.commondreams.org/newswire/2011/12/15-3
While the attention of the world is on Iowa and the presidential
candidates we have a unique opportunity to send a simple, clear,
powerful message from the 99%. Enough is enough. It's time to evict
Wall Street and corporate money from our democracy. It's time to put
people before profits. It's time to fight for a fair economy, where
hard-working people can earn decent wages, own homes, provide their
kids with a good education, get affordable health care when they need
it, and retire when they've earned it.
It begins on December 27 with the first-in-the-nation People's Caucus.
Attendees will introduce and discuss resolutions representing the
grievances raised by the movement and the 99 percent. They then will
break into candidate “preference” groups, but with a twist. Instead of
indicating preference for the presidential candidate they support,
participants will state their preference for the candidate whose
headquarters they intend to occupy over the next three days of
non-violent action.
From December 28 - 30 we take the issues directly to Obama and the GOP
candidates, occupying their campaign offices to demand that they start
talking turkey about the real issues of fairness and justice and
economic inequality that have occupied our lives.
Throughout the week we've got many exciting scholars, community
leaders and others giving talks and leading workshops and teach-ins.
We'll also be hosting concerts and other cultural events where you can
meet other like-minded folks and have a good time. Des Moines is a fun
city. We plan to make the most of it. :D
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
1. JOIN US!
Please visit our website, occupythecaucus.org for complete info
on planned events. We are offering hospitality and you can find
housing via the website.
2. SPREAD THE WORD!
Please forward this e-mail to your friends, family, coworkers and all
who might like to participate. Attached to this e-mail is a flyer that
you can post to facebook, or print and distribute in your own
community.
3. OFFER HOUSING!
If you live in Des Moines, please consider opening your home for one
or more nights. Please visit occupythecaucus.org and click on
the "rideshare and housing" link for more information.
4. GIVE A TEACH-IN!
We still have a few slots available in our schedule, so if you or
someone you know has a topic to present, please contact Stephen
Toothman at stoothman@yahoo.com. We are especially interested in
providing space for other Occupy groups to present topics of interest
in your local communities, so step right up!
Friends, TIME magazine just chose "The Protestor" as their person of
the year for 2011. Together, let's celebrate the birth of a powerful
global movement for a fair and kind and sustainable society. Let's
usher in a New Year full of hope and possibility.
Warm regards,
Aaron

Rideshare Can Be Your Very Best Potential Mode Of Transportation
Ride-share is also referred to as car pool, car sharing and elevator sharing. It can be a service that's offered to each and every person to generate usage of one auto to traveling from 1 place to another to your work. It works within an agreement between the vehicle sharing men and women unless they have to choose upon particular topics including who'll drive the car and when, where a person really should be picked and also what will be the price of gas and upkeep.
SDOT announced a partnership March 17th with Uber and MADD to provide discounted rides on St. Patrick’s Day, and during special events throughout 2016 to deter impaired driving.
Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, joined by Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders and Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy, announce that the Commonwealth is on track to meet the goal of vaccination 4.1 million residents by the first week of June and all remaining COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted effective May 29 at a State House press conference on May 17, 2021. The Commonwealth’s face covering order will also be rescinded on May 29, and Governor Baker will end the State of Emergency on June 15. The Department of Public Health will issue a new face covering advisory consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s updated guidance. Face coverings will still be mandatory for all individuals on public and private transportation systems (including rideshares, livery, taxi, ferries, MBTA, Commuter Rail and transportation stations), in healthcare facilities and in other settings hosting vulnerable populations, such as congregate care settings. Stay informed about COVID-19 by visiting mass.gov/covid19, calling 2-1-1 or texting COVIDMA (COVIDMAESP for Spanish) to 888-777 for updates. [Joshua Qualls/Governor’s Press Office]
Legislation introduced will allow ride-hailing companies to enter the BC market next year, while putting priority on safety for passengers.

More than 1,000 mayors, managers, community planners, locally elected officials and guests from throughout Michigan will descend on Grand Rapids, Michigan, Sept. 20-22 for the joint 2018 Michigan Municipal League and Michigan Association of Planning (MAP) convention. This is the first time ever the League and MAP have joined forces to combine their two annual fall conferences (the League’s Convention and MAP’s Planning Michigan Conference) into a single massive gathering. And it’s all happening during the 2018 ArtPrize in Grand Rapids. Most convention education sessions and trainings will take place in Amway Grand Hotel and DeVos Place, but there also is an extensive series of mobile workshops throughout the area that will put a spotlight on the positive things happening in the community.
The Convention is the League's premiere annual event and a chance to inform and highlight community accomplishments. The League is especially excited to be in Grand Rapids this year with MAP because the west-Michigan community has a lot of the placemaking assets the League has identified as making up vibrant communities, including walkability and physical design, arts and culture, economic development, entrepreneurship, strong education base and much more.
Both the League and MAP serve the education and advocacy needs of elected and appointed leaders and the staff that support them: managers and administrators, professional planners, and other city, village and township leaders that make up the teams that work in tandem to create vibrant, successful, and healthy communities. Because the League and MAP are collaborating on this event, we’ll have double the power to bring more of what our members want. Attendees have more breakout sessions, more topics, and more mobile tours to choose from than ever before.

Seen on a parked Honda Fit near San Francisco International Airport.
Between the tech industry and an awful taxi system, San Francisco became the birthplace of smartphone application-based ride hailing services. The two biggest players are Uber which now operates in over 40 countries, and Lyft which operates throughout the US. There also are SideCar (operating in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and a few other select cities) as well as several smaller players that only operate in San Francisco.
Because both Uber's mass-consumption uberX service and Lyft rely on independent private citizens and their personal automobiles to provide the services, they have proven controversial, with many taxi and limousine operators being up in arms. Laws have been enacted in California and elsewhere to require the services to provide appropriate commercial insurance, among many other standards.
This particular Honda Fit, like many motorists in San Francisco and Los Angeles, operates for both Uber and Lyft, and carries both companies' trade dresses. It also carries Lyft's "Glowstache" which illuminates at night to make it easier for passengers to spot. Additionally the car also comes with a permit to operate from San Francisco International Airport, listing Lyft's California TCP (Transportation Charter Party) license number that provides the required liability.
Disclaimer: I am a driver for both Uber and Lyft myself.
