The Maine Turnpike is the busiest road in Maine—more than 95 million vehicles traveled on it last year. It's also a dangerous place for work crews: A recent report shows that 88 percent of drivers speed through work zones. The new director of the Maine Turnpike Authority, Andre Briere, joins us to discuss his plan to slow people down, new initiatives on the Turnpike, and his background as a U.S. Air Force Colonel who served as defense attaché to Moscow.
Panelist:
Andre Briere, director, Maine Turnpike Authority; previously Deputy Commissioner, New Hampshire Department of Transportation
