Yes. Can get an event listing up tomorrow on our site. Can make an
eventbrite or something unless somebody has a tool they like to use and
wants to do the honors.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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).
