>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> outside "bigger" speaker, speakers could be spaced throughout the event so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that everyone gets to hear a speaker even if they only come for part of the

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and will help everyone get at least one guaranteed introduction to an org

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Action: Does this seem like the right approach to

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - 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
