Please Encourage Your Elected Officials To Attend

Okay, I know some of you folks who read this blog work for other local government agencies. If you're one of those people, I need your help. As part of SRTC's 'Visioning Process,' we will be hosting a Regional Visioning Process Workshop for Elected Officials and Key Transportation Staff next week.

The point of this is to discuss the Visioning Process and get feedback and guidance on it. The Visioning Process is looking at all modes of transportation-transit, bicycling, walking, personal vehicles, freight, etc. - within Spokane County, as well as how they contribute and interact with each other and economic development.

We put out invitations to all local elected officials last week and asked for RSVPs. So far we haven't heard much, so I need you to encourage the elected office-holders in your jurisdiction to attend the workshop.

There are actually two workshops scheduled, in order to get the maximum amount of people there. They are:

- Monday June 28 2010 • 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm or
- Tuesday June 29 2010 • 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

It is not necessary to attend both workshops as the content will be the same at both.

PLEASE let your people know about that and have them either RSVP to contact.srtc.@srtc.org or send questions to that email address.

We would like to have every jurisdiction represented at the workshops so everyone's voices are heard in this process.
