Transportation nation: speeding up the pace of spending
In partnership with WNYC Radio in New York, The Takeaway’s Transportation Nation looks at the changing shape of America’s transit landscape.
Today we discuss how the Obama Administration’s efforts to speed the pace of transportation funding will affect commuters across the country. We speak to public advocate Guillermo Mayer and public radio news reporters Laura Yuen (Minnesota Public Radio) and David Schultz (WAMU) to discuss how funding affects transportation in their local areas.
