STA Comp Plan Hearing Tonight

I know this is last minute, but here's another meeting you may want to attend tonight: as part of Spokane Transit Authority's regularly-scheduled Board meeting, there will be a public hearing on STA's Draft Comprehensive Plan for Public Transportation.

The meeting starts at 5:30pm. Here's a link to the agenda so you can see approximately at what time this item will be.

A planner for STA says that the adoption of this type of document at STA has been overdue for a while, so this is a big step. The Comp Plan plan defines STA’s goals and policies to provide guidance for decision-makers and clarity for the public. It also contains a map of a preliminary proposal for a High Performance Transit Network for the region.
