EGNC Invitation – Commute Trip Reduction Virtual Open House

EGNC Invitation – Commute Trip Reduction Virtual Open House

EGNC would like to share the information below with the Emerson/Garfield community.

From the Spokane Regional Transportation Council –
In partnership with Spokane County and Commute Smart Northwest, SRTC is currently updating the region’s Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan. The CTR program is intended to help reduce drive-alone trips throughout the region and encourages the use of alternative transportation options such as public transit, biking, walking, and teleworking options.

As part of this effort, we wanted to invite you to our virtual open house, scheduled for Wednesday, August 21 at 6pm. During this time, attendees will learn more about Commute Trip Reduction and can share their commute experience and obstacles. If you’d like to join us, you can join via zoom at the link provided: https://bit.ly/CTR-OPEN-HOUSE

You can also provide your input by taking our 3-minute survey: https://bit.ly/CTR-SRTC.
También disponible en español: https://bit.ly/CTR-SRTC-ESP.

Your comments help inform planning strategies and investments throughout the region. Survey results will be shared between SRTC and a host of local planning agencies, such as Spokane County, the City of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Airway Heights, Cheney, and Medical Lake.

If you have any questions for us or would like more information, you can reach out to mredlinger@srtc.org and bkloskey@srtc.org – or contact the SRTC office at 509-343-6370.

Thank you for being a valuable part of this community, and we hope to see you at the virtual open house!
