In this episode of Transit Unplugged, host Paul Comfort continues his Alaska adventure with Fairbanks, as part of his California and Alaska series. Paul starts with sharing his 12-hour train journey from Anchorage to Fairbanks through Denali National Park--which was nearly cancelled because of wildfires!
In Fairbanks, he chats with Fairbanks transit leaders Michelle Denton, Corey DiRutigliano, and Dey Johnson about the unique challenges of running a transit system in Fairbanks' extreme weather conditions.
Together with Paul, explore the history of Fairbanks, the impact of its discontinuous permafrost tundra on infrastructure, and the exciting new improvements with a brand-new transit facility. Tune in for a blend of history, adventure, and insights into making transit work in one of America's most fascinating and rugged landscapes.
Coming up next week we head to the opposite corner of the U.S. and Miami! We're going to highlight the new Miami-Dade electric bus depot with Eulois Cleckley and Angel Andre Chavarria and how this first-in-the-nation project is going to put Miami at the forefront of battery electric transit.
