The inaugural episode of Streetsblog California's podcast, StreetSmart, features Jeanie Ward-Waller discussing the California Transportation Commission, an entity responsible for reviewing and approving substantial grants annually. During this initial conversation, she delves into the commission's functions and the challenges it faces, particularly during its extensive two-day meetings. This podcast aims to bring expert insights into various transportation-related topics, highlighting the complexities of policy and funding. The next episode will focus on the funding scenarios for transit agencies in the post-COVID and Trump era, featuring UCLA researcher Juan Matute.
So, welcome to the inaugural podcast of our first Streetsblog California podcast, which we're calling Street Smart. At least we still are as of the recording.
Ward-Waller explains how the board works (and doesn't work), and what to expect at their long, two-day meetings.
This Thursday and Friday, there will be a long meeting of the California Transportation Commission which reviews and approves billions in grants every year.
The second podcast will feature UCLA researcher Juan Matute discussing the funding picture for transit agencies statewide.
