State steps up to accommodate one of Florida's fastest growing counties, now #1 in the US for the horse industry. Marion County Commissioner Carl Zalak joins the Bob Rose Show to update the latest. 

It's been more than a month since RTD's Zero Fare For Better Air promotion beckoned riders to just get on the bus. So, did they? And what about the Johnston administration throwing around the idea of banning all vehicles from making right turns at red lights? Oh, and Governor Polis is getting giddy about a Front Range-serving rail system — but do voters have the appetite for another train project? Host Bree Davies brought these hot topics and more to returning fave, CPR's growth and transit reporter Nathaniel Minor, for a deeper look behind the big transportation headlines of the last few weeks.  Check out Nate's reporting on the dangers of the trend toward bigger, heavier cars (and the possible legislation being proposed to address it), his ride-along with Polis on the possible Front Range train of the future, and the ongoing woes of RTD's funding for FasTracks.

Alex is joined by Shawn from Theme Park Worldwide for this special episode recorded just before the UK's lockdown.  Q jump/fast lane.......everyone has a view on fastrack tickets at theme parks - but should we be using them or do they just create problems that wouldn't exist without them?  This podcast was recorded just before the UK's coronavirus lockdown whilst the parks were still open and all information was correct at the time of recording. 

Transit expansion leads to gentrification so often that some folks have started calling new light rail, the "Gentrification Train". A community land trust in Denver takes land near new stations permanently off the market and turns it into affordable housing. . 

“We’re on the cusp of a transportation transformation, and if we don’t lead it, we’re going to get left behind.” Dave Genova started in the oil and gas, and environmental industries before making it into public transit. What is a bit of a rarity, Genova has spent his entire transit career with a single agency. Now the General Manager and CEO of the Regional Transportation District (RTD), Genova joins Transit Unplugged to discuss RTD’s FasTracks program, how they use drones for maintenance, and the importance of thinking about the next big thing for transit. If you want to know more about RTD, you can check out their website.

Guest host Randy Simes, Headline writer for the Streetsblog Ohio Network Blog and owner of UrbanCincy.com, joins me from South Korea to give his thoughts on his current home in the Gangnam district of Seoul and his previous one in Atlanta.  We cover Keith Parker’s turnaround of Atlanta’s transit agency MARTA, talk about the belt line and the types of people that won’t leave the cozy boundary it creates,  and Randy shares the best place to get southern hospitality in town.   From there we swerve from a discussion about Al Gore’s $90T plan to remake cities without cars into a chat about America’s crumbling infrastructure.  Or splintering.  Depends on what material the pipes are made from.    And for the final few minutes there is a celebration of Denver’s 10 year anniversary of the Fastracks vote.  Regionalism and light rail on freight rights-of-way is debated and the locals might know what Randy means when he mentions Biker Jim.       All that and more on this week’s Talking Headway Podcast
