This week on Mondays at The Overhead Wire, Tracy McMillan and Chrissy Mancini-Nichols join the show for episode 200!!! We talk about a mobility idea that's like cap and trade, the idea of time, nostalgia and an imagined future for ourselves, measuring the GDP outcomes of our transportation investments, and the big questions about auto dependence. Lots of great discussion and fun ideas like maybe we should start a book club or a book segment! Let us know what you think.
