Episode 1- Building Bridges: A Conversation with Former U.S. Secretary of Transformation, Ray LaHood

Welcome to Growing Better Together, a new show from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, where we talk with leaders about how Central Ohio can grow better as we get bigger. For our first episode, we’re joined by Ray LaHood — former U.S. Secretary of Transportation and longtime advocate for infrastructure and bipartisanship. From his time in Congress to leading a $70 billion transportation budget under President Obama, Secretary LaHood has spent his career focused on building connections — both across America’s roads and rails, and across political divides.
