I will let you know when we get a reply.</div><div><br></div><div>While I’m here, a couple more ideas for possible discussion:</div><div><br></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li>I met with ATU leadership yesterday and among other things we talked about doing a joint TRU/ATU transit stop clean-up with Pauline the Transit Fairy sometime in June. Location TBD but I was thinking maybe around the CID station? If you’re interested let me know so we can coordinate scheduling!</li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/AnnaZivarts/status/1791163730547572941">This tweet</a> from Anna Zivarts and Laura's reply made me remember how much I hate the bus wrap ads that cover the windows. Maybe not the most pressing transit issue in the world but I wonder if other transit riders feel the same & whether we could do a mini campaign to get the agency to stop doing them. Just a thought!</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>Katie</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Katie Wilson <katie@transitriders.org><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>TRU letter/request re Driver Commendation Page</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;">May 21, 2024 at 1:13:47 PM PDT<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christina OClaire <christina.oclaire@kingcounty.gov>, Michelle Allison <michelle.allison@kingcounty.gov><br></span></div><br><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Chris and Michelle,<div><br></div><div>Please find attached a letter from TRU (specifically authored by members of our Bus and Transit Service workgroup, but with the enthusiastic support of the rest of us) suggesting improvements to make it easier for riders to commend and thank their drivers.
