Grab your sunglasses and sunscreen, this month we’re headed to Miami and the Florida Keys! Join Paul for a tour of the newest transit system in the U.S. in Monroe County, Florida with Exec. Dir. Richard Clark. His system will combine on demand transit with fixed-route buses to alleviate increasing congestion along these gorgeous islands.

Then Paul heads back north–since he literally couldn’t go any farther south!–to Miami to immerse himself in all the food, culture, and music that makes Miami, Miami. Along the way he checks out Tri Rail’s headquarters with Dave Dech, catches up with Broward County Transit’s Coree Cuff Lonergan, and meets Miami-Dade CEO Eulois Cleckley to take in the night life.

And for a special treat…you’ve seen Paul play piano, you’ve heard Paul do stand up comedy, and now we unveil MC Pauly C rapper!
