This week on Mondays at The Overhead Wire we're joined by Sam Sklar to talk about a lot of interseting topics from Charlotte and Riyadh transit expansions to climate policies that work and why kids aren't taking the bus to school as much.  We also share some recent research on windshield perspectives from Tara Goddard and look at what rising car insurance rates might mean for the future.
