Comfort’s Corner: The Latest COVID-19 Impacts on Transit

“Our ridership is way down, revenues aren’t coming in, but transit operators are still continuing to provide lifeline services.”

On today's episode, we discuss how Washington D.C.’s stimulus package will affect the transit industry, and then hear from Mike for "Mike's Monday Minute," a selection of feel-good stories and highlights. We then have a Newsmaker interview with Marco D’Angelo, CEO of the Canadian Urban Transit Association, on what's been happening with Canadian legislation, and some bigger-picture impacts of COVID-19. Plus, Paul shares a reading from his bestselling new book, “The Future of Public Transportation.”
