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!

SpoCanopy is a program of City of Spokane Urban Forestry, in collaboration with The Lands Council. We want to ensure every person in every neighborhood in Spokane has access to trees and green space. That’s why we work with residents and volunteers to plant trees and beautify our city. Our goal is for every neighborhood in Spokane to have 30% canopy cover by 2030. Learn more about SpoCanopy here.
