Thanks to all who sent the latest flyover insanity, if you weren’t expecting it! Most messages came in around 5:45/5:50pm (Thursday):
“air force one just flew really low over dupont area, low like landing low”
“Has anyone said anything about Air Force one doing loops around the city, very low, banking.
I’ve never seen anything like it”
AlertDC had sent a message with little warning:

From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) issued final regulations instituting fines for operators who violate shared micromobility rules and modifying the program structure for eligible low-income users of shared fleet devices. These changes reflect DDOT’s commitment to ensuring greater accountability across the District’s shared micromobility program, improving accessibility, and strengthening public safety.
“Shared micromobility is a fast-growing segment of the District’s transportation network and DDOT is committed to ensuring safe, reliable, and affordable multimodal transportation options for our residents and visitors,” said Director Kershbaum. “As the program grows, we recognize the importance of strengthening safety measures, improving compliance, and holding operators accountable. We’re excited to implement forward-looking regulations that recognize the expanding popularity of micromobility and promote sustainable growth.”
The rulemaking strengthens DDOT’s oversight over shared micromobility operators by establishing fines for program violations, including improper device parking, failure to promptly relocate improperly parked devices, obstruction of pedestrian access routes and bike lanes, and failure to meet required fleet deployment standards. Fines up to $100 are intended to improve compliance by incentivizing operators to take greater responsibility for their fleets.
The new regulations also update the low-income customer plan (LICP) by establishing a monthly credit of 300 non-cumulative minutes, plus a 50% discount when the limit expires. Effective immediately, (more…)
