This episode, we talk a bit about accessibility and how transit plays a role in making sure those with physical challenges can get out and about. We also invite you to learn a bit about GoAccess and TRACs, two programs that help with that goal.

Ep. 26 – LimeBike
If you’re seeing some bright green and yellow bikes around Raleigh, you’ve been seeing NC State’s new bikeshare program. We talked to NCSU transportation officials about it.
Ep. 25 – Cycletracks
Call them cycletracks (or cycle tracks) or segmented bike lanes. Or protected bike lanes. A bicycle lane separated from cars by any name smells just as sweet — at least to three different groups in Raleigh trying to bring such projects to the area.
Ep. 24 – Ramp Signals
Ramp signals aren’t new, but they are new to Raleigh — and they’re coming in September to an I-540 ramp near you. Two engineers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation tell us why they’re excited to see them installed.
Ep. 23 – Six Forks Road
Six Forks Road will be undergoing some big changes in the future. In this episode, we discuss the city’s plans for the road widening.
Ep. 22 – The Durham and Orange Transit Plans
Some recent reporting has raised concern about whether Durham and Orange county’s plans for light rail will impact Wake’s commuter rail project.
Ep. 21 – The Raleigh Transportation Bond
This fall, Raleigh voters will consider whether the city should borrow money — more than $200 million — to tackle several road projects.
Ep. 20 – Fortify NC
Three years have gone by fairly quickly! Or maybe you don’t think so, if you’ve been driving on I-40. But the project is moving along and will be complete by the end of this year. We chatted with Steve Abbott at the NCDOT about how this project got started and the latest lane shifts.
Ep. 19 – Bikeshare
Bikeshare is coming to Raleigh! The city is very close to choosing a vendor to install bikeshare stations around the city. Trung Vo, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager, spoke with us about how the process works and what’s next.
Ep. 18 – GoRaleigh Station and Bike Fashion
The GoRaleigh Transit Station adjacent to Moore Square opened on May 1. This time, we discuss the station’s changes. In this two-topic episode, we also discuss the important question: what do you wear while riding a bike to work?
