SRTC Getting New Commute Option

Hey- SRTC is getting a gift from the Spokane County Commute Trip(CTR)Reduction Program- a new bike! And you're invited to the ceremony where it will be presented.

CTR is teaming up with the City of Spokane and the Downtown Spokane Partnership to make it easier to commute in the downtown area.

10 businesses, including SRTC, that promote alternative transportation to their employees, are going to receive bicycles for their work sites. The work site bicycles will be used for mid-day errands and appointments that might otherwise have caused a commuter to drive his or her car to work.

Spokane Mayor Mary Verner will present the work site bicycles in the Chase Gallery on the lower level of City Hall, 808 W. Spokane Falls Boulevard, on Wednesday, April 22, at 9:30 a.m.
