Joe Tortorelli Appointed To WA State Transportation Commission

Congratulations to Joe Tortorelli of the Spokane Area Good Roads Association and SRTC's Transportation Advisory Committee. Governor Christine Gregoire appointed Joe to the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) to fill a seat vacated by Latisha Hill, also of Spokane.

Tortorelli has a strong economic development background with 30+ years experience working with local government and private sector groups interested in growing the local economy and generating private sector capital investment. He says he became active in a variety of transportation organizations when he realized the connection between transportation and economic development.

As a member of the WSTC, Tortorelli will be a voting member of the SRTC’s Board of Directors. Here's more information on the Transportation Commission if you'd like to know more about it.
