STA Has Been Very Busy Lately

Spokane Transit has released a draft of it's Comprehensive Plan for public comment, and they'd like to know what you think of it. The plan is called “Connect Spokane – A Comprehensive Plan for Public Transportation” and you can view it by clicking here.

The plan provides a home for policies related to planning decisions for various services, activities and programs STA provides and maintains. It also provides a vision for a “High Performance Transit Network” that establishes corridors for future service and infrastructure investments.

A final draft is expected to be adopted by the STA Board in July.

But that's not the only STA news I have. STA's Downtown Transit Alternatives Analysis website is now up and running. Take a look and help shape downtown Spokane's transportation future. It's good stuff, be sure to check it out.
