The Mechanics of Transportation
How can I get drivers to slow down in my neighborhood? What’s Vision Zero all about? Why does it take so long to get a sidewalk/bike lane or a reduced speed limit approved? Welcome to the Mechanics of Transportation – a podcast that will answer these questions as well as introduce you to people who you may want to share a bike ride, bus ride or walk with.

The Magical East Coast Greenway
What would you say to a roughly 3,000 mile trail that spans the entire East Coast, connecting 15 states plus Washington DC—as well as 450 cities and towns from Maine to Florida?
There is such a trail and it’s called the East Coast Greenway.
On Episode 7, I speak with Elliott Caldwell from the East Coast Greenway–he oversees the Virginia and Washington D.C. sections.
We talk about the history of the Greenway, how it’s funded and why it’s not just a great adventure path for cyclists, runners and walkers, but how it’s also an important part of a locality's infrastructure.
You can find out more about The East Coast Greenway and also donate funds to help finish it.
