We Made It Through The Week- Almost Anyway
Is it just me or has it been a tough week? Just to raise your spirits (and by 'your' I mean mine), and because I have my own bad cat, here's a flashback to my high school years when Toonces the Cat was a mainstay on Saturday Night Live. Of course it's transportation related- it's a cat that can drive! Although every sketch DID end up with Toonces driving off a cliff so apparently he couldn't drive very well.
SRTC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Spokane County. Urbanized areas with populations exceeding 50,000 people are required to have an MPO. SRTC was formed to address the county's transportation planning needs. It provides coordination in planning between the public, cities, small towns, the county, the state, transit providers, and tribes.
SRTC offers services including transportation monitoring, transportation modeling, census information analysis, travel demand forecasting, historical traffic count analysis, geographic information systems, and trip generation rates.
