Read SRTC's Revised Public Involvement Policy... Please

Being a government agency, SRTC is required to have a 'Public Involvement Policy' showing all the ways we interact with the public such as through tools like this blog, news releases, public meetings, etc., etc.

We recently updated that policy to better meet federal and state public participation requirements and now we're asking you, the public, to take a look at it and give us some feedback. Here's a link.

After you look at it, let us know: are we doing all we can to reach people like yourself? How do you prefer to get your transportation news? Are public meetings a thing of the past? If you have suggestions, opinions, ideas on the subject- let us know. You can do so by emailing us or by mailing comments to SRTC, 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310, Spokane, WA 99201.

Comment are due by Sept. 17, 2008.
