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