Brian interviews Paul Comfort. Paul is an author, podcast host, former government official and transit industry veteran. He spent 16 years on the radio as host of Comfort's Corner on WCTR in Chestertown, MD. Mr. Comfort is a published author of numerous articles published in magazines such as Governing Magazine, Mass Transit Magazine, METRO Magazine, Intelligent Transport, Business.com and AXIOS news service. He served as President of the Transportation Association of Maryland and the Maryland County Administrators Association. With his strong background in media and transportation, Mr. Comfort now hosts one of America's most popular transportation podcasts, Transit Unplugged, with interviews of Transit CEOs.

Welcome to part two of Paul's interview with Jarrett Walker of Jarret Walker & Associates. In this part of the interview, Paul and Jarrett talk about two of the hottest topics in public transport: equity and the demise of rush hour. Jarrett discusses the tension and balance between focusing on ridership versus coverage when looking at transit equality. As he talked about in part one, too far to one side or another leads to very different transit systems. He gives an example from his homebase of Portland, OR where there is a proposal to cut routes from some areas of the city to give disadvantaged areas of the city better coverage. Listen to his perspective on the topic. Then Jarrett goes into how if agencies are freed from needing to offer peak rush hour service--which is both inefficient and expensive--they can use those funds to offer better all-day coverage for routes in the system. This is something we've heard a lot about before, but Jarrett brings in the perspective of riders who think it's great to have rapid rush hour service, not realizing it's a cost to the whole system. You can also read more about Jarrett's work and check out his book at HumanTransit.org. Also on this week's show:
