  Highways are usually just places we drive past, but what if they could solve some of our biggest problems? In this episode, we are joined by Allie Kelly, the leader of the nonprofit The Ray. They are totally rethinking how we use highway land. We talk about how they turn roadside land into solar farms, pollinator habitats, and even use recycled tires to make roads last longer. It is a really cool look at how we can turn underutilized infrastructure into a powerhouse for clean energy and safety. Allie also dives into the future of connected vehicles, autonomous tech, and how a systems thinking approach can actually make our infrastructure smarter. Check out this episode to see why you will never look at an interstate the same way again.
