What is the best way to reduce traffic on recreation highways during the busy weekend days? There is a campaign here in Colorado from a group called the I-70 Coalition that is titled “Break Up With Your Car” that is trying to increase transit ridership between the Front Range cities north and south of metro Denver to and from the mountains. The goal is to alleviate traffic on the major mountain highway, Interstate-70. Margaret Bowes, the Director of the I-70 Coalition joins me to talk about it. Also, Do Flies Survive When They Fly Out Your Car Window At Highway Speeds? All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

It is time again for our talking traffic segment where we hook up with a traffic anchor from somewhere in the USA and talk traffic. Today we are going west to California, to the small town of Bakersfield and talk to probably one of the most unique traffic anchors we have as part of EW Scripps. Officer Robert Rodriguez is one of the Public Information Officer’s for the California Highway Patrol but he is also the traffic anchor for KERO TV, our station in Bakersfield. I talk traffic and some rules of the road on this edition of the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

I haven’t talked to my buddy Skyler McKinley from AAA Colorado in a while and I have a stack of interesting transportation news that is coming out of his office like gas prices, oil prices, summer travel, road trips and a very interesting story about the increase in fatal wrecks even though fewer people have been driving since the start of Covid. Also, how tone deaf is Moovit sending out the below press release about lower transit use in Ukraine since the war? See for yourself. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Moovit Press Release:
Hi Jayson,
Public transit usage has decreased significantly in Ukrainian since Russia’s full scale invasion on February 24th. While public transit continues to run, there are no services available when curfews are in place, for example 8:00pm - 7:00am in Kyiv.
Moovit [t.nylas.com], an Intel company and creator of the popular urban mobility app, is sharing this visual to show the percentage of change in demand for public transit in several of Ukraine’s major cities — Chernivtsi, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv, Mariupol. The data is based on the daily active use of Moovit users.
If you are interested in using this in an article, please provide credit to www.moovit.com [t.nylas.com].
Thank you,
Sharon

There is a study that finds that the water onboard most major airlines that is served to the passengers is so unsafe that you shouldn’t even wash your hands with it. The shocking discovery was made by hunter colleges food policy center and Diet detective.com who investigated the water quality of 23 different US airlines. Joining me today is Dr. Charles Platkin, the executive Director of hunter colleges New York City food policy center to talk more about this. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

Colorado’s Department of Transportation has changed and morphed from an agency that took care of roads and bridges and safety campaigns into an agency that is about promoting certain kinds of movement and now even development. There is an article written for the website Complete Colorado by Joshua Sharf titled, Commission turns CDOT into Colorado’s urban planner. Today I welcome Joshua Sharf to talk about where we are and where we are going. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
