Key takeaways:
- Jake Bailosky developed OnStation to solve a specific pain point in the field: determining exact location on a project site. Inspired by golf yardage apps, the tool automates stationing for road workers and inspectors.
- The app immediately improved field efficiency by eliminating manual calculations and replacing measuring wheels—offering instant location data to crews and helping streamline project documentation.
- Transit App’s new bike routing feature prioritizes safety by routing cyclists through protected lanes and quieter streets using Open Street Map data, with visual warnings for busy roads.
- Real-time data accuracy is critical not just for buses, but for all modes of transit; Transit App’s ongoing feedback loops and data refinement ensure reliable and accessible trip planning for riders.
There’s an app for everything these days—even for navigating construction zones and biking city streets. In this episode of the Infrastructure Technology Podcast, Host Gavin Jenkins and Co-hosts Harlee Hewitt and Brandon Lewis dive into the transformative role of apps in transit and construction.
Gavin speaks with Jake Bailosky, the former Ohio Department of Transportation engineer who created OnStation—a job site location app that revolutionized field operations. Then, Brandon interviews Stephen Miller, policy lead at Transit App, about how real-time data and turn-by-turn bike routing are enhancing the rider experience. From simplifying site inspections to safer cycling routes, this episode explores how app-based innovations are streamlining infrastructure work on the ground and on the go.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
