WSDOT Workers Return Lost Bear
Here's a cool story I saw on ABC National News over the weekend about two Washington State Department of Transportation workers who went out of their way, and spent their own time, returning a very special item to a little girl who's dad is serving our country. These two guys were named ABC's 'Persons of the Week.' Wow, that's a big deal.
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.
