Crews are set to begin digging for the 1.6-mile Central Subway in San Francisco that critics have called the world's shortest and most expensive subway line. The project awaits $942 million in federal dollars, money that Republicans in Congress are trying to withhold. We'll discuss the project and the coming traffic snarls.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • John Funghi, Central Subway senior program manager for the San Francisco Metropolitan Transportation Agency
  • Quentin Kopp, former chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority and a retired superior court judge
  • Will Reisman, transportation reporter for the San Francisco Examiner
