Ever wonder how we landed Ken Jennings—yes, that Ken Jennings from Jeopardy!—for a Community Transit campaign? Or what it’s like to ride your bike and take the bus to work every day, rain or shine? Episode 7 of That Transit Show has the answers.

Host Monica Spain chats with Rory Graves, senior marketing copywriter at Community Transit, about The Transit Effect, a new video series that explores all the ways transit impacts our lives—from sustainability to community connection. Rory shares how the idea came to life, how we connected with Ken Jennings (hint: no cold calling), and what it was like filming seven episodes in just four hours.

We also go along for the ride—literally—with Chief Operating Officer Roland Behee, who’s been biking and busing to work for 35 years. His commute showcases how easy it can be to combine biking with transit to reduce your carbon footprint and stay active.

What you’ll see in Episode 7:

  • A behind-the-scenes look at our campaign with Ken Jennings
  • How our creative team brought The Transit Effect to life
  • A real Snohomish County bike-and-bus commute from a long-time rider
