Abstract
The Hubble tension is arguably the greatest problem in modern cosmology. Type Ia supernovae are central to the local measurements in multiple ways. Here, I will talk about the analysis of the first data release of SNe Ia from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the ZTF -only distance ladder calibrated to the tip of the red giant branch method. This uniform distance ladder is a key method to control the largest sources of systematics for achieving percent-level precision on H0. A complementary route to H0 is via strongly lensed SNe, especially of Type Ia. I will review the recent work on the first resolved strongly lensed SNIa, and the new discovery of SN Zwicky from ZTF . Lastly, I will present work on the directional dependence of the Hubble parameters and cosmic deceleration and its potential implications for the H0 tension.
