POST-CONFERENCE SEMINAR<br />
Planning Ahead: Enhanced<br />
Contracting Opportunities by<br />
Participating in the Transportation<br />
Planning Process<br />
8 a.m. - 3 p.m.<br />
Leschi, Level 3<br />
Sponsored by the Taxi, Limousine, and Paratransit<br />
Association.<br />
The Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association (TLPA)<br />
has been awarded a grant from the Federal Transit<br />
Administration (FTA) to assist private transportation<br />
operators in understanding and becoming involved in the<br />
transportation planning processes and the opportunities<br />
for <strong>bus</strong>iness and contracting that may follow. As a part of<br />
this technical assistance program, TLPA developed the<br />
Planning Ahead: Enhanced Contracting Opportunities by<br />
Participating in the Transportation Planning Process seminar.<br />
The seminar will help private transportation operators<br />
identify beneficial opportunities for involvement in their<br />
MPO, local and statewide planning processes, provide<br />
real world examples, and offer the chance for attendees to<br />
share their experiences and to draw information from other<br />
participants. The seminar will provide operators with an<br />
appropriate understanding and working knowledge of the<br />
planning processes and organizations so that they can ask<br />
the pertinent questions and make more informed decisions<br />
regarding the level of involvement that is most valuable to<br />
them. Each seminar includes participation from FTA staff<br />
and from local planning officials.<br />
This seminar is open to all <strong>conference</strong> registrants. Preregistration,<br />
at a cost of $35 per person, was requested by<br />
the TLPA. If you did not pre-register, but would like to attend<br />
the seminar, please contact Ayesha Plaskett by calling<br />
TLPA’s toll free line, 1.866.928.6550. Or, you may contact<br />
TLPA’s Hal Morgan at the Sheraton Seattle.<br />
