Funding for transit requires more than fares and local contributions. Amy Jordan sits down with Noelle Pinkard, HRT's Organizational Advancement Officer, to discuss all the ways transit agencies develop relationships with elected officials to secure funding that fills the gaps needed in transit. Plus, hear a bit about the phenomenon called the 'Transit Death Spiral' - which most transit agencies are facing now that Covid-19 emergency funding is ending.

If farebox revenue doesn't come close to covering the operational costs of public transportation, then why not just have free fare? In this episode, we tackle the free fare debate: what it is, who's debating it and the reasons many riders don't want to see fares become free (or even reduced).
