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.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
