Tracks Are For Trains, Not For Photos
My senior photos were taken in front of a backdrop that looked like it had lasers shooting across it, so I guess I have a hard time understanding this one. And I'd share the picture with you but it's one of those things you can never unsee. Anyway, Union Pacific is asking students to stay away from train tracks when shooting senior photos to make sure you actually survive until graduation. Here's a public safety announcement they're using to raise awareness about why tracks aren't a good backdrop for your pics.
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.
