    Proto-Future 10: Introducing the Centre County Highway Revolt

    In this episode, I describe a project I've been working on with some friends to end car-dependency all across America, not just in cities, and details the many reasons why cars are always harmful to the environment, our health, and our economic prosperity. The Centre County Highway Revolt is a citizen-led organization opposing any new automobile spending in Pennsylvania, and instead promotes building a fast, frequent, regional rail system out of existing, government-owned infrastructure for intercity travel, daily car-free commuting, and transit accessible nature.
