Showing results for "Transit" in History

This podcast tells the story of the Transportation Justice Leadership Grant cohort program in Washington State. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in partnership with Front and Centered join forces to bring together 19 community-based organizations across the state to develop community-led solutions to reduce carbon emissions.

In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious "Boss" of Tammany Hall.
