The Next American Built Environment Episode 5 "The Biden Transportation Agenda" hosted by Michael Tae Sweeney, a new show about urban planning, architecture and transportation, with a focus on rail, cycling, walkability, urbanism and transit.
Aaron W. Gordon of Vice's Motherboard joins us to discuss President Joe Biden's transportation agenda, what Congress has planned for its infrastructure bill and what Pete Buttigieg's agenda is for running DOT. We talk about NHTSA, NTSB, Tesla and Uber autonomous vehicle safety as well as the Dieselgate and recent US truck emissions scandals, as well as discussions of the Gateway Project connecting the Amtrak and NJTransit train tunnels between New York City and New Jersey and the East Side Access Project connecting Long Island and the LIRR Long Island Railroad with Grand Central Station. There's also a detailed explanation of the $10B Port Authority Bus Terminal project.
