Are you looking for a volunteer position that gives you a voice in developing local policies, works closely with area decision makers and lets you help shape and develop the area transportation system?
The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) is seeking members for its Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC is a citizens’ advisory group that provides transparency and a community perspective to that process. The TAC advises the SRTC Board on plans and programs; makes recommendations on regional transportation policies; and serves as a conduit for information between the Board and the public.
TAC Members represent the general public and groups including, but not limited to, people with disabilities, senior citizens, youth, the business and freight moving communities, traditional automobile users and advocates for non-motorized transportation or public transit.
Those chosen for the TAC will serve three year terms, starting in January 2017. The time commitment required for the TAC is minimal, the group meets on the fourth Monday of every other month at 3 p.m. for about 1 1/2 hours.
TAC applications and more information on the committee are available at http://www.srtc.org/tac_page.html. The application deadline is 4 p.m. on November 4.

Mission Statement
To coordinate transportation planning in the Spokane Region by providing leadership, expertise and a forum for collaboration.
Description
The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) for Spokane County. Federal law requires urbanized areas with a population greater than 50,000 to have an MPO to ensure transportation expenditures are based on a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive planning process. Federal and State funds for transportation projects and programs are channeled through this process and awarded to local agencies and jurisdictions dealing with transportation.
SRTC encourages coordination and collaboration between planning and transportation departments at our partner agencies, including the City of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Spokane County, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Spokane Transit, and small cities and towns to assure connectivity throughout Spokane County.
Services SRTC offers include census information and analysis, air quality conformity and analysis, historical traffic count data analysis, transportation concurrency review or analysis, geographic information services such as mapmaking and demographic analysis, transportation analysis zone data, and travel demand forecasting.
