BONUS: The War on The War on Cars
Added 2024-05-28 10:01:01 +0000 UTCHello!
For this month's exclusive Patreon bonus episode, we take a look at three states that have attempted to ban everything from bus rapid transit to taxing driving by vehicle miles traveled. While most of these initiatives have failed, one of these states successfully banned bus wraps, but not because bus wraps make it harder to see out of bus windows.
What is going on? We take a look at recent news from Indiana, Arizona and Florida.
Take a listen and let us know what you think.
As always, thank you for your support!
Aaron, Sarah and Doug
PS Don't forget our summer meetup, happening on Saturday, June 1 in Brooklyn. See you there!
