As Austin Bike Month comes to a close, the work doesn’t stop here. Building a safer, more connected, and less car-dependent city takes year-round investment in mobility options that work for everyone. Let’s keep moving Austin forward

Honored to recognize AAPI Heritage Month at City Hall today. As a proud member of Austin’s AAPI community, I’m grateful for the cultures, stories, and contributions that continue to shape our city and make Austin stronger every day.
Congratulations to the University of Texas Class of 2026! 🤘
From late nights studying to taking the plunge into the Littlefield Fountain (questionable water quality and all), you’ve officially made it. Wishing you all the best in whatever comes next.
And for those staying in Austin, our office is always here as a resource. Thank you for helping make this city such a special place to live, learn, and grow.

Stopped by the Little Free Bakery pop-up and got to celebrate something really special.
A space where everything is free, neighbors take care of each other, and community comes first.
Grateful to present a proclamation recognizing May 3 as Little Free Bakery Day.
Here’s a clip from yesterday’s Public Safety & Mobility Committee meeting.
A quick look at the conversations happening around safety, innovation, and how these technologies operate on our streets. This work is ongoing, and it matters for our community.
Yesterday’s joint Public Safety and Mobility Committee meeting was a chance for real accountability.
I’m disappointed that Waymo didn’t show up in person. People deserve transparency when it comes to safety on our streets.
State law limits what cities can regulate, which is why we need our state and federal partners to step up. This isn’t partisan, it’s about public safety. Reach out to your representatives and to these companies. Accountability only happens if we demand it.

This morning’s cargo train derailment in downtown Austin has caused road closures and delays. Cleanup is expected to take all day. Grateful for first responders and city staff, and thankful there are no reported injuries or loss of life.

Renters deserve safe, dignified housing and clear info about their rights.
Join me tomorrow for a community teach-in on renters’ rights in Texas.
