Brown Bag Session Next Week

Want to come have lunch with us, while learning something new about transportation? WEll, here's your chance: SRTC will host a brown bag lunch session on 'Transportation Funding 101' before the February 10 Board meeting. We'll talk about how SRTC and its programs are funded, how federal and local money plays into what we do, how our partner jurisdictions receive grants and money for projects through us, and what each 'pot' of money can be spent on.

The session starts at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 10 with the regularly-scheduled Board meeting immediately following. And the best part possibly? It will be in our brand new, as yet unused, conference room at SRTC, 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310.

The bad part though: while everyone is welcome to attend, you've got to provide your own lunch. Sorry folks but we can't afford to feed you all. Hope to see you next Thursday.
