Transportation Advisory Committee Meets 11/28

The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC), SRTC's citizens' advisory group, meets for their last meeting of the year on Monday, November 28. The meeting agenda is here. One particularly interesting item is a presentation on Transportation as a Social Determinant of Health, from the group Better Health Together.

Time Running Out to Apply for Transportation Advisory Committee

Transportation Advisory Committee Meetings
truly are magical.

Okay folks, time is running out if you want to apply to be on the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) and help shape local transportation policies.

The TAC is a citizens group that provides transparency and a community perspective to the transportation planning process. It advises the SRTC Board on plans, programs and activities to determine consistency with policies and other activities as directed by the Board.

We like to represent as many demographics as we can so we are looking for people with disabilities, young people, the business and freight moving communities, traditional automobile users and advocates for non-motorized transportation or public transit. I think that about covers everyone though.

The time commitment is small too if you're a busy person. The group meets every other month for about 1 1/2 hours. Occasionally we'll have an extra meeting and sometimes we ask for volunteers for subcommittees but that is completely up to you.

There are three open TAC seats to be filled for a three year terms from 2017-2019. More information, and the application to apply, can be found on the SRTC website here. The deadline to apply is 4 p.m. on Friday, November 4, 2016. That's tomorrow, so get going. The good news? It only takes about 5 minutes to fill out the application.

• There WILL be a Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting on Monday, July 25. The agenda can be found here. This could be a really interesting one if you are interested in how construction projects happen, from beginning to end. Guest speakers from partner agencies will explain the process, and the timeline.
• TTC meeting scheduled for July 27 has been canceled
• The Board meeting scheduled for August 11 has been cancelled

Special Transportation Advisory Committee Meeting Scheduled for April 25

A special meeting of the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) will be held on Monday, April 25 at 3 p.m. at the SRTC office, 421 W. Riverside, Suite 500 to discuss a proposed amendment to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Horizon 2040.

The TAC normally meets every other month and would not normally have a meeting in April. The meeting agenda can be found here.

Everyone is welcome at TAC meetings and there is a public comment item on the agenda.

SRTC Board/Committee Meeting Changes

There are a couple changes in the works you may want to know about for next month. SRTC is moving to our new office at the Paulsen Center in approximately 30 days. We have already packed up the majority of our office and only left out of the packing boxes those things we use on an everyday basis.

We will still be in this building in early March and will hold the regularly scheduled Board meeting here. The April 14 Board meeting has been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict though.

We will be in the moving process in late March and are relocating our committee meetings as a result. The March Transportation Technical Committee (TTC) meeting schedule for 1:30 p.m. on March 23 will be held at the Spokane Regional Health District in room 140. The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) will be held at 3 p.m. on March 28 at Spokane City Hall, 808 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., in conference room 3B.

We will continue to put out reminders as these dates draw closer.

Transportation Advisory Committee Meeting January 25

The first meeting of the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) in 2016 is next Monday, January 25 here at SRTC. The TAC is a citizens' committee that advises the SRTC Board on policy topics and provides transparency to the transportation planning process.

The agenda for the next meeting is here. TAC meetings are open to the public and all are welcome so feel free to attend if you are interested. Meetings start at 3 p.m. at 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310.

Committee Meeting Schedules for 2016

The final meeting of the year for the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) is next Monday, Dec. 14. The agenda for the meeting is here. Everyone is welcome at all SRTC committee meetings so feel free to attend if anything on the agenda catches your eye.

Starting in 2016, there will be some changes to the TAC schedule. The group will meet at the same time (3 p.m. the fourth Monday of the month) but only every other month, starting in January. This is because staff in 2016 will be devoting a large amount of time to data gathering behind the scenes and there will not be as big of a need for policy advisory actions. With that said though, special meetings in off months can be called as needed.

Below is the calendar for all SRTC committee meetings for 2016.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the November Transportation Advisory Committee's (TAC's) November meeting has been moved up one week to November 16.
