The Solar Eclipse

from The DOT POD · host NYSDOT - The DOT POD

On this special "Celestial Edition" of the DOT POD, Josh and Anya discuss the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse occurring across New York State on April 8, 2024. They are joined by the Director of Interagency Operations for the Governor, Jessica DeCerce, and DOT's Director of the Transportation Systems Management and Operations Bureau, Becky Gibson-Schott. While this will no doubt be an awe inspiring event, the likes of which won't be seen in New York State again until 2079, it is also a massive undertaking for agencies around the state to make sure everything runs smoothly. With hundreds of thousands of people set to stream into the path of totality, we talk about the preparation that has already occurred, and that continues to be ongoing, as we approach April 8. Whether you're an eclipse-chaser traveling from out of state, or the path of totality goes through your backyard, we offer some advice to make sure you get the most out of this incredible spectacle.
