This week we're joined by Ron Milam of Fehr and Peers to talk about some of his thoughts on this year's Transportation Research Board Conference. We also talk about VMT and highway expansions, commute times and distances in China, and why certain sounds from your neighbors might put you on edge. Follow along below the jump for the show notes.
