About this episode

This week on Talking Headways we are sharing Part 1 of a conversation with Reece Martin of The Transit Brief in Toronto at the Mpact Transit + Community Conference. We discuss the politics and impacts of fare policy, construction costs around the globe, the US' existential crisis, and the material benefits of progress. 

This episode was recorded at the Mpact Transit + Community conference this year in Toronto. A big thanks to Mpact for always providing us with a space to record to have such great discussions. For more information about next year's conference in Kansas City visit mpactmobility.org
