Hi there,
This week is chock full of events, including our performance oversight training tonight (Wednesday) and the first Ward 1.5 meet up of 2024 (newly christened the Mid-City/Near Northwest/Rock Creek West Happy Hour). Plus, we're teaming up with several local partners to host a teach in for Transit Equity Day in early February.
We hope to see you at something soon!
