move it! Youth Project information
Partners for Smart Commuting, a coalition of local, regional, and state government agencies in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Nevada, has been active in the effort to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips for ten years. This youth-focused campaign is the result of an Oil Rebate grant and matching funds from public agencies associated with the coalition.
Metro Transit, Issaquah Youth Center/City of Issaquah Parks & Recreation and 14 students met over the course of
three months to discuss transportation in their communities and design a project to create awareness about transportation alternatives. This informational web site is part of their communication effort.
The following schools were represented:
- Issaquah Middle School Skyline High School
- Beaver Lake Middle School Issaquah High School
- Maywood Middle School Overlake High School
Special thanks to City of Sammamish Councilmember Michelle Petitti for her support of this pilot project.
