SmartRoutes Community Rally Day


Today is the day, the SmartRoutes Public Rally is today from noon- 1 p.m. at the STA Plaza in downtown Spokane. The SmartRoutes initiative is an application and case statement for up to $50 million in grant money for much-needed non-motorized transportation projects in our area.

Fore more info, take a look at the SmartRoutes website, then pass the word on to your friends. If we can show Congress that the whole community is behind this effort, we've got a better chance of getting the money needed for active transportation. And stop by the Plaza this afternoon if you can.
