Flashback! Episode 419: We Travel to Reach Destinations

at the University of Iowa, and Jonathan Levine, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan to talk about their paper, First Principals of Transportation Law and Policy. We talk about how to rethink transportation metrics towards accessibility, how the law has embedded mobility in transportation, and why we really travel.

Hey everyone!  This is an episode we put out in February of 2023 with Greg Shill and Jonathan Levine about their paper discussing how to rethink transportation metrics by putting forward accessibility.  One of the things I’ve gotten out of this one for the long term is that we travel not just for kicks, but mostly to reach destinations.  I referenced this show in a recent post on my blog so I thought the July 4th weekend replay would be a good place to share it again.

The original transcript is here.
