Roadkill Not Going To Waste In Spokane
It's that time of year again- lots of big game coming down to the lower areas. And many of them are getting hit by cars. While this is unfortunate for the animal, and a lot of the time your car too, there's a group of folks benefitting from the weatlth of roadkill- the people at the Union Gospel Mission Culinary School and the men who go there for meals. KREM 2 News has the story.
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.
