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 Mechanics of Transportation
Do You Suffer from Car Brain?
On this episode (Number 10!) of the Mechanics of Transportation, I speak with transportation expert, guru, and muckraker Andy Boenau.
When he’s not working his day job for the city of Richmond as a transportation and housing mentor, he’s writing for his substack site called Urbanism Speakeasy with Andy Boenau, in which has the tagline:
“Simple truths about city planning & transportation to help you promote healthy infrastructure.”
Andy and I talk about the effects of car brain–where the term came from, how drivers suffer from it and what can be done about it.
You can follow Andy on Twitter as well, where he’s very outspoken about transportation issues. Find him at @boenau
