CA RxR 2.13: Bonus – Fastrak and Tolling (Part 1)

As promised, here are a few bonus episodes to tide you over during the break between Season 2 and Season 3. In this episode, we have the first half of an interview with Joe Rouse of Caltrans, talking about HOV Lanes, Express/Toll Lanes and Bridges, and Fastrak. There are two more bonus episodes in the pipeline. Episode 2.14 will be the second part of this interview, and Episode 2.15 will explore auto trails. Regular episodes should resume around September with Season 3, which will cover Route 3 through Route 7.
