Utah is the 8th most urbanized state in this country, with 90% of its residence living in urban areas. No wonder there's congestions on your way to work. Last month, we sat down with USU researcher Dr. Patrick Singleton as he painted a picture of what the transportation industry might look like after the COVID-19 pandemic died down. In this episode Wyatt sits down with Carlos Braceras, the executive director of Utah Department of Transportation, and dives in deeper, talking about Utah's unique landscape, weather pattern, and urban issues UDOT deals with, along with the solutions to create greater mobility through mass transit and active transportation. We also dive into the key role USU students play in UDOT, a new way to build freeways, and a little known ferry system in Southern Utah.
Possible take away from this episode? Less frustration during traffic cone season. It's worth the hassle.\\xa0
