[Transit] bus service increase/event

Doug Trumm doug at theurbanist.org
Fri Mar 3 22:49:16 PST 2023 

That seems too pricey to me. I'd rather risk a noisy larger venue like
Optimism than let the budget get that big. Thanks Evan for getting the
info. Anybody got any other venue ideas? Have a good weekend all, Doug

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Discussion at top of call:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - There is common interest between the Urbanist,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    Seattle Subway, 36th Dems, and TRU forming a coalition to advocate for
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    restoration/expansion of bus service hours.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Trust with voters and campaigns has been broken
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - we've passed levies for service hours that can't be fulfilled due to a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    lack of bus drivers, we've seen Seattle City Council move funding out of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    transit and into bridge maintenance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - We want to amplify the asks that the ATU have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    made around improving bus driver recruitment (the path to a CDL is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    time-consuming and expensive) and retention (more hours, better hours,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    safety, childcare, etc).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To build the coalition, we agreed it would be good to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> start with a meetup, and then follow up down the line with calls to action
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and a rally.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Would be open invite, but particularly
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    targeted at building engagement among existing members of our orgs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Doug said that Pike Place Bar has historically
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    been a good site for meetups, but it could be challenging if lots of people
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    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,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    monthly).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That's it! Thanks for meeting today and have a great
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> weekend!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Best regards,
