Episode 1: How can we get relief from our transportation problems? The way we drive is making it worse! Join hosts Sally Sears, Angela Robinson and Pollster Matt Towery as they find creative solutions your neighbors are using to tame traffic and transit jams. This lively special takes a look at the latest thinking about growth, traffic and transit. North Georgia is adding 100,000 new residents a year onto already clogged roads and financially stressed transit systems. Georgia is the fourth fastest-growing state in the nation, and Georgians pay fourth from the bottom for transportation improvements.
Some of the guests include:
- A woman who moved closer to her job when her kids moved off to college. Now her commute is less, and she won a prize for her walking. She’s giving her personal best to change our region’s mobility problems.
- A prize-winning investigator at Georgia State University who has crunched the numbers on the newest proposals to alter the way we pay for transportation and traffic.
- A pollster with exclusive numbers on what Georgians think will actually help, and what they’re willing to pay.
- A businessman who deliberately kept his company from moving farther away from a major interstate intersection with terrible traffic. He wanted more choices for his employees to get to work. He’s finding them.
- The leader of a civic association convinced if everyone better understands how we got in this mess we can work together to get out of it.
