Transportation Engineer Allan Kindrat's groundbreaking work on the Cycle 16 multi-use path connecting Smithers and Telkwa recently earned a Gold Award from the Planning Institute of BC, recognizing two decades of persistent community advocacy finally bearing fruit.The project represents a watershed moment for active transportation in BC. What began as a grassroots initiative championed by the Cycle 16 Trail Society has evolved into something much bigger – the first major project taken over by the Ministry of Transportation and Transit under their new Active Transportation Capital Program. With $85 million allocated across approximately 11 projects province-wide, this represents an unprecedented commitment to building dedicated cycling and pedestrian infrastructure within highway corridors. This ministerial involvement sets a promising precedent for similar initiatives across BC, including the Connect the Coast Society's efforts on the Sunshine Coast, where Kindrat now serves as project manager.

Dewayne Deams was born and raised in San Francisco and caught the transit bug early. You might say it's in his blood: his great-grandfather Curtis E. Green was the General Manager of Muni—the first Black GM of a major U.S. transit agency—and both of his parents worked for Muni, too. But despite his own deep knowledge and love of Muni, Dewayne was determined to take the track less traveled. In this first installment from our Wayfinding Show in April, Dewayne shares how he learned to embrace his longtime status among friends and coworkers as chief navigator and resident transit expert and how it serves him today in his role as a BART operator.

Ald. Daniel La Spata of the 1st Ward joined Lisa Dent to discuss the Chicago City Council's move to eliminate parking minimums near public transit, a change aimed at increasing housing density and affordability. La Spata explains why the new rules could help spur development and make housing more accessible across the city.

When Transit was published, how many Doctor Who fans would have imagined that its writer would go on to become a British bestseller? We're delighted to be joined by Ben Aaronovitch, to discuss his first original novel, the tenth New Adventure to be released - Transit. He's since gone on to write the Rivers of London series, which follows the escapades of Peter Grant (not to be confused with the former Celtic and Scotland footballer of the same name). Ben joins us to talk about Transit, and his latest Rivers of London book, Stone & Sky.

1981's Tattoo, the lone feature effort of commercial director/co-writer Bob Brooks, was fraught with pre and post production problems.  The film, about a tatto artist (Bruce Dern) unnaturally obsessed with a fashion model (Maud Adams), had it's release date pushed back after Brooks protested the edit producer Joseph Levine created without his input or approval.  Transit authorities in NY took down pre-release posters for the film in response to complaints about the images presented - a woman's bare bound legs covered in tattoos.  And Dern insinuated on the press tour that he and Adams had had actual sex in the film - a claim Adams disputed. But the publicity didn't seem to help the film find an audience.  It pretty much came and went in theaters and is currently out of print.  Dan and Vicky discuss the controversial erotic thriller along with lots of recently seen including the new Superman, Jurrasic World: Rebirth, Oh Hi, Disney+'s Behind the Attraction documentary, Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story and And Just Like That.  Our socials:  hotdatepod.com FB:  Hot Date Podcast Twitter: @HotDate726 Insta:  hotdatepod

I'm joined by Alon Levy of NYU's Transit Costs Project, whose work documents how expensive it is to build transit in the US relative to the rest of the world. We discuss how countries like Spain and Italy build cheaply by relying on in-house public expertise and standardized designs, while the Anglosphere is captured by a costly ideology of privatization. Levy explains how applying these lessons could make ambitious projects like high-speed rail in the Northeast not just possible but affordable. This is a public episode.

Since 2007, Jeff Browaty has been a regular guest on TGCTS in his role as city councillor for North Kildonan. Currently the Finance chair, Episode 38 features a long-from interview with him discussing numerous civic issues . We start with an explanation of how the concerns of the residents of Elmwood-East Kildonan are being handled until a byelection fills the seat.6.30- The revised Transit stop and route system is touched on, as North Kildonan faces an influx of vagrants and criminals taking a free ride to the suburbs- "I'm ready for a crackdown" on freeloaders, says Browaty. He discusses planned fare payment options, which likely won't include accepting paper cash. 20.00- Coun. Gilroy's motion to enforce bans on illegal camping in parks and playgrounds has Browaty looking to eliminate encampments beside major traffic routes. Hear his view of the disorder and crime "happening brazenly right in the open." While Mayor Gillingham, Coun. Vivian Santos and the CBC harp about potential lawsuits, there are three court decisions that Browaty and council has not been briefed on backing the enforcement of public safety. We wonder why.28.00 Part 2 - Browaty answers questions about increased water bill costs and the reasons driving the hikes; we raise the issue of tax dollars expended on pet projects like bike lanes and decorative painting on roads. If "calming curbs" are being installed to manage traffic, why aren't the engineers and bureaucrats who drafted the inadequate road designs fired? Browaty goes on to express his support for photo radar but is unaware there are performance reports long overude; on the other hand, he thinks some of the school zone enforcement practices are "baloney".42.00 - Browaty is asked whether bike lanes and other laneway modifications proposed in the Moving on Marion project actually violate the required standards for provincial truck routes. He commits that the residents of the St. Boniface Hospital district will finally be directly consulted about the project. *****Today in the Winnipeg Sun: ”We have a homeless man and woman in a yard near us.

The Gateway Program is a $16 billion project to build new tunnels under the Hudson River to improve service for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. But as the project prepares to break ground, they have uncovered some mysterious — and some historically illuminating — obstacles, including a totally unaccounted for staircase to nowhere, pig bones from the Meatpacking District's meatpacking days, and a bevy of wires, cables, and other infrastructure dreamed up by the engineers of yesteryear. Stephen Nessen, transit reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about the discoveries, and how Gateway crews will have to work around these buried treasures from the past.

Only 4% of Americans ride transit—but 84% of people in communities with transit say they value it.In this episode, Paul Comfort digs into the details with Mark Aesch (CEO, TransPro Consulting) and Alvin McBorrough (CEO, OGx Consulting). Together they unpack two big levers for agency performance: measuring what actually matters and using AI to deliver it more efficiently. Featuring: Mark Aesch – CEO, TransPro ConsultingWhy ridership is a misleading primary metric; shifting from volume to value; what the 84% really care about (jobs access, service for older adults/people with disabilities, low‑income mobility); and how current federal incentives (unlinked passenger trips, revenue miles) work against customer satisfaction. Mark also previews how FTA reform could move agencies from “happy buses” to “happy customers.” Alvin McBorrough – CEO, OGx ConsultingPractical AI use cases transit agencies can deploy now: real‑time passenger tools (ETAs, chatbots), predictive maintenance, route optimization, computer vision for safety, demand forecasting, and digital twins for planning. Turning “data rich, information poor” operations into smarter decisions—and doing more with less.

What's currently going on with the Pittsburgh regional transit budget issues affects us all. Most impacted by the service cuts and fare increases are our neighbors, friends and family whose income is below $25,000. If we are our brother's keeper we need to be about the business of contacting our political officials. Have we really become a people unconcerned about the next person? I pray not -but it certainly looks that way. As I sit here on my back porch, pondering solutions to the dilemmas we face every day. I have to ask myself what am I doing to help my neighbors, my friends, my family? What am I doing in my neighborhood, my community, my city, my county and my state. Is voting enough? Do I have a sphere of influence? Am I expected to do anything? Should I do anything? Is there anything that can be done? I am civic minded. I am active in my community. I'm not active in my church, but I should be. I'm not active in my neighborhood. I do speak to my neighbors (those who seem receptive ) I do believe in being neighborly, as a matter of fact, one of my neighbors is 92 years old, I take her garbage can back  from the street after the garbage has been picked up. Her caregiver sets it out on Tuesday. Our pick up is Friday. It's the little things that make a big difference. Her caretaker told me someone in the neighborhood was putting dog excrement in the can!  She asked me if I wouldn't mind moving the trashcan back to the house so that that wouldn't happen. It's a small thing to do and I'm able to do it but certainly there are some other things that I can be doing, should be doing and as I continue to ruminate about it, I will come up with something that I can do that's going to hopefully join with thousands upon thousands upon thousands of other Allegheny county residence to stem the tide of Pittsburgh Regional Transit cuts to services and fare increases. Let's stand with our residents who depend on Pittsburgh regional transit. Contact your state representative today !

Jill Locantore, Executive Director of the Denver Streets Partnership (DSP), joined co-hosts Divya Gandhi and Em Hall at the 2025 National Planning Conference in Denver to discuss how Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) can be a key tool for achieving Denver's Vision Zero goals. This Critical Conversation in Transportation Planning dives deep into the political, cultural, and social challenges inherent to transforming corridors from car-centric to bike and pedestrian-friendly. From traffic calming and street design to Denver's bold efforts to prioritize buses and pedestrian safety, Jill unpacks how a truly safe city starts with valuing people over cars. Under Jill's leadership, DSP has helped to advocate for and implement policies that promote a transit-centered approach to improving traffic safety. The organization has been instrumental in convening multiple community stakeholders with a common goal of transforming Colfax Avenue, the “longest, wickedest street in America,” into a major arterial that supports the city's ambitious Vision Zero goals of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030.

Should public transit be free? Or will removing fares cause all busses and trains to sink into the earth, never to be seen or heard of again? This episode we systematically go...

Public transit agencies across the state may soon be seeing some changes in services as some face funding troubles. The Federal Transportation Administration recently made revisions to its agreement with rural transit agencies, requiring them to comply with federal immigration enforcement action, contradicting Oregon’s sanctuary state law. This dispute has left some federal reimbursements in limbo for agencies. At the same time, House Bill 2025, which would have raised billions through fees and taxes for road projects, ultimately failed in the state Legislature. Melissa Metz is the general manager for the Coos County Area Transportation District. They recently announced some services will be suspended and will be accepting public comments at their next board meeting. Julie Brown is the general manager for the Rogue Valley Transportation District, the president of the Community Transit Association of America and the commissioner chair for the Oregon Department of Transportation. The RVTD recently shared that funding uncertainties will lead to a reduction in staff and service, alongside ODOT’s recent announcement of laying off nearly 500 employees. Metz and Brown join us to share more on some of the challenges facing rural transit agencies right now, and what they’d like to see in a special session from lawmakers.
