Between the Lines - a TDM podcast powered by Commutifi: Recent Episodes
Commutifi
In 2019, global emissions hit an all-time high and projections put us at a terrifying high line of 3.5 degree temperature rise by the end of the century. But the global pandemic may have been a turning point. New green recovery policies have the potential to decrease our 2030 emissions by 25% and put us on a new line that limits temperature rise to that critical 2 degrees.
But what does the journey Between the Lines look like?
Achieving these goals will require innovative solutions in every sector of our economy, but none may be more challenging and impactful than personal transportation.
Welcome to the fourth episode of our Keynote Fireside Chat mini-series, presented by The 82 Alliance.
In this 8-episode series, we will talk with the industry's leading experts and innovators to dive more deeply into the challenges we face and the many ways TDM and mobility can help. I’m joined by co-host Rob Henry, the President of The 82 Alliance. He is a Transportation Demand Management Certified Professional (TDM-CP) with over 20 years of experience in transportation.
In this episode, we are talking to Michael Carroll. Michael is the Deputy Managing Director for Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (oTIS), where he leads the staff in developing strategies and implementing policies to build safe and equitable multi-modal systems across Philadelphia’s diverse and vibrant neighborhoods.

The "Between the Lines" Podcast by Commutifi In 2019, global emissions hit an all-time high and projections put us at a terrifying high line of 3.5 degree temperature rise by the end of the century. But the global pandemic may have been a turning point. New green recovery policies have the potential to decrease our 2030 emissions by 25% and put us on a new line that limits temperature rise to that critical 2 degrees. But what does the journey Between the Lines look like? Achieving these goals will require innovative solutions in every sector of our economy, but none may be more challenging and impactful than personal transportation. We’re bringing you experts, innovators, and interesting people working hard to revolutionize and decarbonize our commutes and daily trips. In each episode, we’ll discuss a different solution and ask our guest why it will save our planet.
