"There's a certain type of person who comes into transit spaces because they like the stuff. They're like, I want this. This makes a lot of sense. This is easy. This is great. But the process of getting it, they find very distasteful. It's like they want the meal, but they hate the cooking. One thing about transit that I think really appeals to a lot of people is that there is a logic and a clarity and straight lines and things like that."
Streetsblog solicits annual tax-deductible donations to support free, high-quality journalism that advances ending car dependency and strengthening communities. The Talking Headways podcast features transportation activist Carter Lavin discussing advocacy tactics and his book on effective transportation advocacy. Advocates often prefer the clarity of transit ideas but dislike the messy political process required to implement them. Many supporters find the process distasteful despite wanting the outcomes. Transit appeals through logic, clarity, and tangible benefits like walkability and bikeability. The podcast episode is available via an embedded player, an AI-generated transcript, or an edited excerpt.
