Congestion Pricing To Reduce Traffic — KQED Forum 10am PT

I’ll be a guest on KQED Forum today at 10am PT discussing congestion pricing — where cities charge drivers to enter congested areas during peak times, as a way to limit traffic and pay for transit. The show is part of Forum’s “In Transit” series where I’m a regular guest.

London, Stockholm and Singapore all use congestion pricing, but it has yet to be adopted in any U.S. city. Los Angeles is now studying the concept, and LA Metro will soon release a report examining which parts of the city could benefit most from congestion pricing.

Joining me on the show will be Mark Vallianatos, executive officer in the Office of Strategic Innovation, LA Metro.

You can stream live or tune in on KQED in Northern California.

Future Of Electric Vehicles In The U.S. — KQED Forum Today At 10am

The election of Trump may stall the nation’s progress toward more electric vehicles, but the market momentum is undeniable.  Tesla, for example, is now valued higher by Wall Street than General Motors.

To discuss the future of EVs going forward, I’ll be on KQED radio’s Forum today at 10am. The other guests include:

  • Joel Levin, executive director, Plug In America
  • Loren McDonald, marketing evangelist and blogger

Please tune in at 88.5 FM in the Bay Area and weigh in with your questions.  Even if you don’t live in the Bay Area, you can stream it live.
