Brian Shortsleeve is on a mission to fix what’s broken in Massachusetts. The former head of the MBTA is running for governor of Massachusetts and is focused on fiscal reform and government efficiency. At a recent press conference, Shortsleeve said that, if elected, he would block funding for the Legislature in an effort to force compliance with Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s probe, which was overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2024.

Show Notes: In this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, Max shares his lifelong affection for ferries — the working boats that move commuters, islanders, day‑trippers, and football fans with the same steady indifference. Ferries don't pamper or preen, but they offer something better: a front‑row seat to the water and the most democratic view in travel. Whether you drive a G‑wagon or a beat‑up Volvo, everyone waits in the same line for the same ramp to drop.Max reflects on the magic of that first engine shudder as the boat pulls away from the dock, the wind on deck, and the shared horizon that briefly unites a crowd of strangers. No TSA, no overhead bins, no seat assignments — just the shoreline sliding by and the slow reveal of a destination coming into focus.This episode also explores the explosion of ferry service across New England and beyond. On Cape Cod, the Steamship Authority is preparing to open its long‑awaited new terminal in Woods Hole, a modern stone‑and‑glass gateway to Martha's Vineyard. The arrival of the M/V Monomoy marks another milestone, bringing a quieter, larger, more reliable freight vessel into service.Boston's ferry network is growing fast, with new weekend service from Lynn, expanded Winthrop and Quincy routes, and system‑wide contactless payment. The MBTA's new F‑10 line launches this June, connecting North Station to the Aquarium, the Seaport, and Logan Airport for just $2.46 each way — a rare moment of true transit progress on the waterfront.Amesbury is preparing a small‑vessel shuttle on the Merrimack River for 2026, linking its waterfront to downtown Newburyport with quick, car‑free hops designed to ease summer traffic. And in New Jersey, Seastreak is running special Hudson River trips to West Point for Army football games — a floating tailgate party complete with a bar, snacks, and big‑screen TVs.New York City is expanding too, with a brand‑new Staten Island–to–Brooklyn route, the first passenger ferry to make that crossing since 1964. Commuters are already embracing the traffic‑free ride and the chance to start and end their day on the water.Through all these stories, Max returns to the same truth: ferries are the great equalizer. Once you're on board, you're just another traveler watching the horizon. And that's why he keeps coming back.CreditsWritten and narrated by Max Hartshorne, Editor of GoNOMAD Travel.

Locals are accustomed to the T's dank conditions. But as global soccer fans make their way to Boston for the World Cup, many will come from cities with clean, state-of-the-art public transit — and may be surprised at the MBTA's less-than-sparkling, dungeon-like spaces.

Ever wondered how the T is planning for climate change? On this episode of Spilling the T, we're joined by two guests, Katherine Eshel and Caroline Bean, from the MBTA's Climate Policy and Planning team. Kat and Caroline discuss the T's two pronged approach to climate change in resilience and decarbonization. We'll talk stats and data on the T's environmental impact, how mode shifting to public transit helps decarbonize, why better service and decarbonization go hand in hand, and much more.

Commuter rail is being reinvented—and at Virginia Railway Express (VRE), that shift starts with one big idea: becoming a true regional rail system.Katie Choe, CEO of VRE, joins Paul Comfort to explain how the agency is moving beyond its traditional peak-hour, commuter-focused model toward a more flexible, all-day, bi-directional network designed for today's travel patterns. At the center of that transformation is VRE's System Plan 2050, a roadmap to expand service, increase frequency, and serve a broader mix of riders—from daily commuters to evening, weekend, and recreational travelers. In this episode, Katie breaks down:What it really means to shift from commuter rail to regional rail How VRE plans to deliver a 60% increase in service by 2030 The challenge of operating on shared freight corridors—and how new capacity changes the game Why diversifying beyond federal commuters is critical to long-term growth How agencies can make incremental service improvements now, before major infrastructure is complete The conversation also highlights one of VRE's biggest differentiators: customer experience. From meeting first-time riders at the station to achieving more than 60% participation in annual rider surveys, VRE has built a level of trust that directly informs how the system evolves. With a background spanning Massport, the City of Boston, and the MBTA, Katie brings a systems-level view to the role—balancing infrastructure, operations, and rider needs as VRE navigates this transition.What's next?While major expansion is on the horizon, VRE isn't waiting. The team is already exploring extended evening service, special event trains, and new ways to attract riders in the near term—all part of the shift toward a more dynamic, regional system.CreditsHost and Producer: Paul ComfortExecutive Producer: Julie GatesProducer: Chris O'KeeffeEditor: Patrick EmileAssociate Producer: Cyndi RaskinBrand Design: Tina OlagundoyeTransit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

$150 to take the train to a World Cup match is the kind of headline that makes you do a double take. We dig into the growing fight over World Cup 2026 public transit pricing and why some US host regions seem ready to treat trains and buses like a luxury upsell instead of the simplest way to move tens of thousands of people safely and fast. We start in Boston, where Gillette Stadium already has MBTA commuter rail service for Patriots games, then look at what changes when FIFA comes to town: bigger crowds, less parking due to fan zones and media, and a major push to move up to 20,000 riders per match. From there we get into the $80 fare proposal, the $35 million level-boarding platform expansion, and the bigger question of what counts as long-term transit infrastructure versus a temporary tournament expense. Then we head to the New York City area where matches at MetLife Stadium rely heavily on New Jersey Transit. The numbers are wild: a familiar $12.90 game-day trip turns into a $150 round-trip ticket for World Cup service, plus an $80 bus that still sits in traffic. We talk fairness for local fans, congestion and traffic impacts, and the awkward reality that regions can earn massive new tax revenue from World Cup tourism while still asking everyday riders to foot the bill at the fare gates. We close with brighter examples like Philadelphia SEPTA's sponsorship approach and Kansas City's $50 month-long regional pass and free airport coach, plus what these ideas reveal about better event transportation policy.

This week, The Geoholics take a deep dive underground—literally and figuratively—with rail and LiDAR expert Gordon Perry, PLS. From the streets of Detroit to the tunnels beneath NY Penn Station, Gordon brings a perspective shaped by grit, precision, and a relentless pursuit of quality. Gordon shares his journey from Lansing Community College into the world of surveying—where curiosity turned into passion, and passion turned into a career spanning some of the most complex infrastructure projects in the country. We're talking 1,200 miles of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor, full transit system mapping across MBTA lines, and working in environments most surveyors will never experience—like fully underground rail systems where GPS is nonexistent and precision is everything. If you've been hearing the LiDAR buzz—this episode breaks it down. Gordon walks us through the full workflow. And here's the truth bomb: Data collection gets the spotlight… but processing is where careers are made or broken. He also calls out one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry—thinking LiDAR is “push-button easy.” Spoiler alert: it's not. Not if you care about quality. Gordon emphasizes that great partners aren't just technically sound—they're communicative, accountable, and aligned on expectations. This episode is a masterclass in staying relevant, delivering quality, and embracing the complexity of our profession. If you're in surveying, LiDAR, rail, or just love hearing how the best in the game think—this one's a must-listen. Music by Genesis!!!

This week on The Codcast, we dive into what can feel like a perennial story: the MBTA hurtling toward another financial shortfall that Beacon Hill needs to address.

Our guests, former Transportation Secretary Jim Aloisi and Pioneer Institute senior fellow Charlie Chieppo, debate that central question and more.

Transportation funding in Massachusetts continues to be a tough conversation among state leaders and lawmakers.
