I’d love more!

Good people doing good work for good reasons, and doing it well. The production value of this limited series is top-notch. It’s an informative audio essay outlining problems, solutions, and visions for how we move people.

I’m a recovering car addict and trying to kick the addiction, more shows would be awesome, thanks.

As a Transportation Planner, I very much resonate with the two of you and the topics discussed. Hoping to leverage this show in my daily practice and help create a more sustainable future for travel and transit in the US!

I learned a lot in each episode.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air: professional, fact based, deals with human impact, and does not preach. It’s an exploration, a thoughtful, discussion, and a showcase for progressive ideas that are working. Thank you!

Qualified hosts. Great guests. Very professionally produced.

What a fabulous podcast. Andrei and Tiffany do a great job exploring cutting edge transit/transportation issues in a thoughtful and engaging way. Looking forward to the next season!

Need to move off the constant "equity" buzzword discussion ( which seems to halt real solution thinking & discourse) and realize that No Social class group finds it appealing to share a ride on a foul smelling, dirty, late arriving bus, subway, regional train or auto which double serves as a performance platform for criminals, and people that are in need of housing and healthcare. Everyone wants an affordable, autonomous, on demand and safe way to be mobile. In addition the discussions on the podcast seem to be centered on starting from scratch in a futuristic utopian smart city environment. However, what about fixing what we have first. Some possibilities: 1) dense cities such as NYC need to lift their pedestrian, scooter and bike traffic to a 3 or 4 dimensional solution. Create a highline ribbon path throughout the city and move that use off ground to the air paths. The current highline refurbished and old elevated rail spur and it is extremely popular and life affirming pedestrian pathway 2) create on demand transport for all seniors for day and nightime access to enjoy the activities & continue to be able to contribute to their communities 3) regional railroads & light rail need more north/ south and east/ west rail lines that can intersect and connect disparate neighborhoods in order to bring people closer to work, learning and shopping hubs 4) create safer subways and more reliable current mass transit - cameras, video, audio, clear signage, connectivity and payment options 5) encourage businesses that pay real living wages to bring manufacturing & research closer to the workforce and begin investing again in America 6) smaller regional airports are underserving their communities and need to be tied in to commerce and shipping by becoming connective transport hubs 7) create drone paths to deliver products closer to users 8) create transportation, commerce and housing focused research and education centers of excellence that will help develop solutions to current and future mobility solutions. The Texas A & M transportation instutute is a great model that every State could consider imitating

It happened on episode 4. Like many people, I wanted to believe that on-demand in the right conditions could be a convenient, great model. Everyone loves an app based crutch and the rural unlocking stories are real. But what's missing in the conversation is the trip cost and average rider occupancy to operate Dial-a-ride, and it's shiny new cousin, third party app-based vanpooling. Years of Paratransit in all pockets of the country give every community the experience of understanding the unwieldy costs both in operator to rider ratio, and in emissions for completely deadheaded rides no better than a taxi or an Uber. We persist with paratransit, because it is right and it is necessary (and there are federal mandates). Scale it to deserving seniors, or folks who are low income or from disadvantaged communities and it still makes sense, if you really can't see how fixed route transit becomes a rural solution. Fair enough, but the problem is that the microtransit model is promising pooling, but usually when you lift the hood, an 8 or 10 or 15 person van is carrying a single rider if you really want it to be point to point and responsive. So it's an emissions fail, and not a sustainable model to pursue in most cases. Can we electrify oversized vans with no production emissions? No, not in 2050, because lithium batteries will be in too high of demand worldwide with no prioritization planning. Full sized battery powered vehicles are currently on a trajectory to be playthings for the rich instead of an actual climate solution Expect microtransit to be tried and used everywhere that mode shift is being done as the exception. But if we want true sustainable mode shift, it will be with electrified trolleys, regional rail, streetcars all using pantograph or 3rd rail. It will definitely not be with someone new trying to make Uberpool and Lyftpool scalable. If this wasn't sponsored by Via and the two hosts weren't fully invested in microtransit and tech fixes for transit, it could be great. I'll keep listening because I try to consume as much transit info as I can.

As a someone who’s been in the business for 50 years it’s great to see the energy, thought, and passion behind this podcast. Thank you, Andrei and Tiffany, for putting this together and bringing to the table the many voices who are pushing ahead to create a less car-centric and sustainable transportation system.

Really impressed by the quality and insights that this podcast provides on Transit and transportation. Really interesting for anyone who cares about transportation and infrastructure.

If you like getting into the why and why not of how we organize and get around our communities, you’re gonna dig this podcast! We don’t have to accept the transportation status quo and these guys help illuminate how we can adapt and evolve.

A well-paced, engaging conversation on matters that affect us all. Definitely worth a listen!

Thoughtful, insightful.

Really enjoying and looking forward to more.

Congratulations Andrei and Tiffany on the new podcast. Fantastic debut! The conversations are engaging, topical and fun. 5 stars only because I can’t give it 10.

Important topic and smart delivery. Thrilled to listen every week!

Fantastic podcast that explores transportation- you’ll find yourself wanting to chime in along with the conversation! Great content - engaging and relatable to anyone (regardless if you use public transit or not!)!

Strongly recommend this show - it is independently minded and hosted by intelligent and informed advocates. So many transit advocacy content today is just shouty, unrealistic or uninformed. ModeShift is different and acknowledges the fact that re-introducing transit into the American ‘personal mobility mindset’ is huge and complicated endeavor. I look forward to more episodes on how to address our present sorry state.

If episode one is any indication, this is going to be an enlightening (if not infuriating) look at the sad state of public transit in America. I’m glad companies like Via are working to solve this extremely important issue that impacts us all!

Important topic and great hosts!

Such an important topic presented in a way that is both interesting and educational. Can’t wait for more!

Very excited about this podcast and how it centers access to transportation. This conversation is extremely needed, and I’m very excited to tune in.

I’m glad there’s a podcast that dives into the issues our communities are facing! Great speakers and the hosts are excellent!

Great guests, intelligent take on the most important issues at the intersection of technology and transit policy.

Such an important conversation and transit is connected to everything - jobs, education, healthcare, climate, equity, community, etc.

I can’t wait to listen to all of these episodes!!

So looking forward to hearing more of these discussions!

Love podcasts like Talking Headways and Monocle’s The Urbanist, but we’ve never had a podcast in the space with the production values and narrative to match Gimlet and NPR - now we do. A great start to this new series, with great guests to boot!

The stories that matter and can make a difference about transit

ModeShift offers a whole new lens on transportation: how technology affects mobility, how transit (and not just infrastructure) affects climate goals, and how equity starts with freedom of movement. Follow this show now!

This one is for anyone who needs to get from point A to point B - so everyone! We all deserve better public transit that suits our needs and is better for the planet, so I’m excited about the ideas that this podcast can bring to light.

Thrilled to find a podcast that is making such a complex issue accessible!

Awesome podcast for staying updated on developments in the future of transportation!

Great hosts, and nothing out there that covers this important topic in depth.

Love me a good transit Pod and this is a good one.

Very educational on transit accessibility!

I’m so excited about this podcast. There’s nothing else out there with this level of production value and research. Long live public transit!
