This week Dan Baer, senior vice president at WSP, talks with Kevin Corbett, president and CEO of New Jersey Transit. In this one-on-one conversation, Baer and Corbett talk about NJ Transit’s response to the pandemic, bus electrification, new technologies, and much more.

This week we’re joined by Zabe Bent, director of design for the National Association of City Transportation Officials. We chat about how we think too much about the future and growth, the MUTCD process, and how she would start the design an infrastructure bill.

This week we’re joined by Dr. Jennifer Kent, senior research fellow in urbanism at the Sydney School of Architecture. Kent talks with us about why we travel, the effect of family on our travel behavior, and the idea of “messy trips.” But, mostly, we talk about how dogs effect people’s trip choices, whether they will get a car just for the dog or be willing to get rid of a car because the transit system will let them take their dogs.

This week we chat about using data to make planning decisions, the geography of place, and what the future might look like with more information.
