Winston on Transportation

Cliff Winston talks with host Russ Roberts about his recent article on the U.S. transportation system. He argues that the while the United States has a very good transportation system overall, it is extremely expensive and poorly organized. What is needed, he argues, is not more money, but to spend the money already allocated more wisely. He discusses the evolution of the U.S. transportation system, government's role in transportation, dramatic innovations that might transform aviation and driving, and the potential for privatizing airports and roads.
