SRTC Bike Map Wins Awards At Conference

Congratulations to SRTC's Geographic Information Services (GIS) department! At last weeks Northwest GIS Conference, their 2009 Bike Map won awards in two of four categories. They brought home the win in the 'Best Data Integration/Analysis' and 'People’s Choice' categories. We knew our Bike Map is pretty cool, so we're glad other people are getting the word too. Here's a link to it if you want to check it out online. And if you want a hardcopy version of it, stop by any local bike shop to pick one up.

Great job! I don't think people realize how hard it is to make readable and usable maps. Maps and other directional signs are extremely underrated and undervalued. Keep up the good work in the bike mapping department!
