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.
Plus, there's a new sub-podcast called RVA Bike Scene in which Sean Yeager and I talk about local events and happenings in the Richmond Va bike scene.

The Mechanics of Transportation
Cat's Last Cap
On this episode, I speak with outgoing Virginia Capital Trail Executive Director Cat Anthony as she takes on a new job at VPAP as their Executive Director. For eight years she helmed the foundation that keeps people moving on the multi-use trail and has fought hard to keep its mission going--which in part is to make sure everyone has access to this wonderful trail.
