Ep. 35 — Jeffrey Tumlin — SFMTA, Director of Transportation
In this episode of the Smarter Cars podcast, we talk with Jeffrey Tumlin, the new head of San Francisco’s transportation agency, the SFMTA, about the challenges of managing city transportation needs as the city grows and the streets don’t get any bigger. We discuss managing the streets for the public good, reducing traffic with better road geometry, how to improve public transit for riders, ways to increase safety with better infrastructure for micromobility and active modes, uses of the curb, the declining role of street parking, and how to use policy levers to promote equity.
