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.
