Book a 30ish or 60ish min meeting to discuss anything related to your BATS or TRU work. <a href="https://meet.boomerangapp.com/saunatina">https://meet.boomerangapp.com/saunatina</a> (If you want to have a regular weekly or monthly check-in, let me know! I tend to do my best work when I know I have a voice check-in with those I'm working with, so this is as much for me as you. :-))</li><li style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">SeaTac airport bus route from the south. This is related to the suggested changes once light rail opens further south. When any transit service is cut it has a knock-on effect of making other parts of the network worse. If someone doesn't take transit to work cause there isn't a route for them, they're not likely to take transit home cause they probably drove - this means later service doesn't have as much demand, which produces arguments that service reduction is logical. BATS is planning to do in-person surveys to people riding the affected routes and let people know about our advocacy. </li><li style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Workforce training around vertical conveyances and transit mechanics. We're doing outreach to various unions, researching programs that exist, and continuing to meet with legislators. </li><li style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Route 8 is getting attention from SNG and we're going to help by putting together a survey and email to do outreach to people riding the 8 while they're riding to encourage them to write to councilmembers and others about their experience.</li></ul><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 13px">If you're interested in joining with any of these projects reply to this message and we'll get you hooked up!<br><br>Thanks,<br>S.<br><br><signature></signature></div></div></div></div></body></html>
