Steve will discuss Georgia's share of federal economic stimulus money for transportation, plus Georgia's proposed one-cent sales tax for transportation improvements. Callers welcome.
Steve will be discussing some ideas for raising more money for road improvements. After Steve offers his ideas, callers will be invited to share their own ideas and opinions on this particular subject.
Steve will be reviewing his 2008 roadgeek adventures and talking about anything else road-related that may be on his mind.
On October 11th, roadgeeks will gather in Knoxville, TN, for a "roadmeet". H.B. Elkins will be joining Steve to promote this upcoming event, plus talk about his latest videos.

Steve will talk about the ramp meters on I-85 and GA 400, Atlanta's HOV exit signs, plus Atlanta's fixation on "Peachtrees". Fellow road enthusiast Taralyn of Louisiana even called in and we chatted for a few minutes.
In light of the obscenely high gas prices, the Federal government may be slamming the infamous national 55 MPH speed limit down our throats again as they did in 1974. Doug Kerr of Gribble Nation (www.gribblenation.com) was again my "surprise guest".
