[Transit] bus service increase/event

Thu Mar 9 15:22:13 PST 2023 

Just a quick update: Brewlab was way too expensive so Evan reached out to
Optimism and they'll host us free if we do the event on a Tuesday.  We're
checking into what Tuesday availability they have.  Is there anyone who may
be speaking that can't make Tuesday 3/28 work?

Thanks!
Amy

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    the thread so we keep it all in one place.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Notes from our meeting today:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Attendees:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Doug (The Urbanist)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Sarah (36th Dems)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Saunatina (TRU)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Wes (TRU)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    - Amy (TRU)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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
