EPISODE 91: The War on Cars Heats Up

Hello War on Cars supporters:

Our September episode is finally here. Thanks for your patience. You'll hear why this one took a little longer than normal in the episode itself. 

We have some big episodes planned for this fall and have really enjoyed our run of special guests this summer, but it was great to celebrate our fourth (!) anniversary with a back-to-basics episode about all the goings-on in the the world of The War on Cars.

REMINDER: Tickets for our live show at Caveat in NYC on November 1st are now on sale. Patreon supporters of the podcast can receive $5 off tickets with code "bancars." We really can't wait to see so many friends and supporters in person and hope you'll join us for what's sure to be a fun evening.

As always, thanks for your support. It means more to us than we can express!

- Aaron, Sarah and Doug

EPISODE 91: The War on Cars Heats Up

Summer is over, but honking season is just getting started. After a short delay — due to circumstances described in this episode — The War on Cars is back to celebrate our fourth anniversary and describe why the show's title seems to be in the news a lot these days, partly thanks to one U.S. Congresswoman. The hosts also catch up with each other provide updates on what we did on our summer vacations, including treks through idyllic European landscapes, e-scooter rides in Charlottesville, and a visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Plus, as New York debates a plan to toll drivers entering Manhattan, what will the success or failure of congestion pricing mean for transportation in other cities across the United States.
