Our Infrastructure Woes

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 29, 2015

While the economy in the New York area continues to grow, our infrastructure is falling apart. Jessica Gould, WNYC reporter who covers politics and public finance, explains what it would cost to fix our trains, tunnels, airports & roads, and why the money to do that is so elusive despite the public understanding the need.

Jessica's reporting is part of a larger WNYC look at our failing infrastructure. So we want to see what your commute looks like. Buses, trains, detours and delays...post a picture or video of your commute on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #RunningLate. And who knows, your commute snap might be featured on WNYC.org!
