In this episode of Transit Unplugged, Paul Comfort sits down with John Rossant, founder and CEO of CoMotion, to explore what’s next for cities, transit, and technology. From preparing for mega-events like the World Cup to pioneering hydrogen-powered aviation, John shares how CoMotion is helping shape the future of urban mobility—with a pasta recipe thrown in for good measure.

They discuss:

• The evolving role of public-private partnerships in transit
• Why CoMotion Miami feels more like a tech summit than a transit conference
• How cities can creatively finance sustainable mobility as federal funds tighten
• And the global push toward hydrogen-powered transport—from Monaco to Miami
