Talking Headways Podcast: A Book Club for the Future of Transportation

This week we’re joined by Steve Raney, executive director of the Palo Alto Transportation Management Agency. We talk about a book club he organized based on the “Three Revolutions” by Dan Sperling that discussed lowering transportation emissions in regions. We also talk about the complexity of transportation policy, the organization of local advocacy networks, and potential mechanisms to lower emissions.
