Here's Your Chance To Get Into Our Heads... Although That Would Probably Be Scary

Ever wonder how the transportation planning process works? Or what 'tools' we use to do the planning? Well here's your chance to find out wwwaaaayyyyy more about SRTC than you ever wanted to.

On Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 4-6 p.m., we'll host our annual 'Planning Assumptions' public meeting. The meeting consists of a presentation and question and answer session about the planning process and explains about the travel demand model that we use, the data that is used to make it work, and where we get our direction as to what projects, studies, etc. to conduct.

Myself and Anna, our Transportation Planning Supervisor, will be conducting the meeting and, while the topic has the potential to be somewhat boring, we try to jazz it up a little and make it fun. I may even be able to talk Anna into a little song and dance number about air quality monitoring.

So come on down, everyone's invited. The meeting is in our conference room at 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310.
