        Washington State is lucky to have the WSRO conference. It's a space for the people leading the work of making our communities more accessible and inclusive to connect across sectors, share strategies, and workshop new approaches. I'll see you there.

        Kirk Hovenkotter, Executive Director, Commute Seattle



        I look forward to the
        conference each year! It’s the premier event for ETCs and TDM professionals in Washington to network and
        learn in a small group setting. I always leave with vision and inspiration.

        Jim Simon, Employee Transportation Coordinator, Gonzaga University



        The conference provides an intimate experience for TDM professionals to come
        together to learn and to build relationships. Having a peer network across the region helps build more creative, equitable solutions for our riders.
