ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Stop Requested, Levi McCollum and Christian Londono talk with Charles Frazier, CEO of the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), about the challenges of rebuilding a transit agency after decades of underfunding while preparing for the future. Charles shares his journey through public transportation leadership, the personal experience that shaped his career, and why listening to employees, riders, and elected officials is essential to creating meaningful change.
The conversation explores CARTA's efforts to improve service reliability, modernize infrastructure, strengthen community relationships, and establish a long-term vision for transit in Chattanooga. Charles also discusses a $25 million federal grant supporting autonomous shuttles and workforce development, the importance of aligning transit planning with community growth, and why agencies must balance fixing today's problems with investing in tomorrow's opportunities.
