Pennsylvania’s bridges are in a state of disrepair, with the state falling below the national average. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is in Philadelphia to address President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. He will be sharing insights on infrastructure funding during our discussion.


The temperatures are climbing up again, so dust off your bikes and pump up the tires. The upcoming Philadelphia Bike Expo on March 16 and 17 features exciting trends to explore, including e-bikes, Delaware Valley bike trails, and more. Corey Hannigan from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign joins us to discuss the East Coast Greenway, Vision Zero, and bike infrastructure. Zachary Rachell, from Keystone Bicycle Co. and the Philly Bike Expo cycling team, shares insights on industry trends.
