Spokane Pageant Queen Promotes Safe Driving
A Spokane-area pageant queen could bring some awareness to the topic of roadway safety. Miss Nine Mile Falls USA Rebecca Delong plans to compete in the Miss Washington USA pageant in October. Each contestant picks a platform that they feel needs to be addressed. Delong’s platform is the dangers of distracted driving.
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.

Miss Delong’s has a good platform to run on, because distracted driving is a major cause of automobile accidents.
