State Transportation Package and New STA Projects and Programs

The state Senate Transportation Committee is taking a proposed  package of transportation reforms on the road this fall, including to Spokane, to get input from the public on plans to raise more funds for transportation improvements. Bus service at Spokane Community College is being revamped. And a new program through Spokane Transit aims to reduce demand for parking at the Spokane campus of WSU. The Spokesman-Review's "Getting There" column has a look at what's happening in the region this week in transportation.
