[Transit] bus service increase/event

[amy]

Hey folks, happy Friday!

Evan heard back from Brewlab on availability and costs:

Date: We should pick one of the Thursdays because they're not open on
Tuesdays
Cost:$2400 to book two rooms (and food/bev will be more)

We haven't talked about budget for this endeavor - does this seem
reasonable/doable? or do we need to pivot?

Best regards,
Amy

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    come.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Feb/March timeframe
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - We'd like a speaker if possible
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Doug will be checking in with Seatlte Subway on
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    their engagement in this process
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Doug and Sarah will be leading the effort, with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    help from me
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Saunatina requested that Sarah and Doug email
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    her to be added to TRU's BATS (Bus and Transit Service) workgroup mailing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    list, and encouraged them to attend our next BATS meeting (4th Mondays,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That's it! Thanks for meeting today and have a great
