Transportation Advocacy Day coming on January 31
All Aboard Washington will again be participating in Transportation Advocacy Day on January 31, 2012 in Olympia. We are partnering with Transportation
Choices Coalition and many other organizations for TAD. The event will be from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The morning session will feature speakers (usually including several legislators) and breakout sessions on various transportation issues.
In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to meet with your legislators to discuss transportation issues, particularly, for AAWA members, intercity rail and the Amtrak Cascades.
If you would like to have Executive Director Lloyd Flem make appointments for you with your legislators, please contact him as soon as possible. Click the About Us link for Lloyd’s contact information. If you plan to arrive via the Cascades, let Lloyd know so that we have enough vehicles to meet the trains.
Transportation Choices Coalition requests that you preregister for TAD so they have an idea of the number of attendees for morning snacks and lunch. There is no cost to attend TAD.
The event will again be held at United Churches at Capitol Way and 11th St SE, just blocks from the state Capitol.
