State highways in the Bay Area are the second worst in the country, behind only New Jersey. That’s an assessment from the construction industry-friendly organization TRIP, which says the bad roads cost individual drivers roughly $2,000 each year, based on higher vehicle operating costs, crashes and congestion-related delays. We look at the condition of Bay Area roadways, and the cost of improving them.

Guests:

Frank Moretti, director of policy and research for The Road Information Program (TRIP), a transportation policy organization

John Goodwin, spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission

Steve Kinsey, supervisor for Marin County's Fourth District

Noam Levey, reporter, Los Angeles Times
