How Will A Smart Car Fare In A Head-On Collision?
There are a lot of jokes about how driving a Smart Car could be a death sentence if you are to get into a collision because the tiny cars just don't have the bulk to stand up to a larger car, but how true is that? Bloomberg TV takes a look as a Smart Car literally goes head-to-head with a larger vehicle.
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.
