This week on Talking Headways I'm joined by a big roster of guests to talk able about California's climate legislation and how it will change transportation policy.
Lauren Michelle of Policy in Motion and Kate White, Deputy Secretary for Environmental and Housing at the California State Transportation Agency, give us the lay of the land when it comes to California's emissions laws and the state's array of transportation agencies.
Caltrans Sustainability Director Steve Cliff discusses what sustainability means and how it gets misconstrued as just an issue of environmental stewardship. And Eric Sundquist of SSTI also joins us to talk about how Caltrans will reorganize itself to shift its approach to transportation policy.
The last segment touches on funding and what revenue from California's cap-and-trade system will mean for transportation. Fred Dock, transportation director for the City of Pasadena, guides us through how his city will be able to access funds by thinking outside the box.
Tune in and hear all about how California is turning the ship around -- it's exciting to think about the bright future ahead for the largest state in the nation.
