Today is Transportation Advocacy Day in Olympia, when people from around the state gather to meet legislators and lobby for transportation policy. The House Transportation Committee will hold hearings today on two bills that relate to biking:
HB 2911: Creating Complete Streets Grant Program
HB 3001: Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education in Traffic Schools
House Transportation Committee members include local legislators Alex Wood (3rd District), John Driscoll (6th District), and Matt Shea (4th District).
