Welcome to the Mechanics of Transportation with me Ian Stewart. I’m a transportation reporter, formerly with VPM News, where I covered both local and national issues around transportation, including features on Vision Zero, speed enforcement and local bike races.
On this podcast, I’ll dive into the issues around transportation–from the cost of infrastructure to the people making the decisions on how we navigate the roads to people who you may want to share a bike ride, bus ride or walk with.
Many of these pods will be centered around the Richmond region, but once in a while I venture beyond central Virginia to get outside voices and stories.
On this inaugural episode, I’m speaking with GRTC spokesperson Henry Bendon. The Greater Richmond Transit Company just finished their fiscal year with some impressive ridership numbers–hitting over 10 million. Besides diving into those numbers, we talk about zero fares and what investments the transit company is making to keep the rides fare free.
