The
primaries ended in May, and general election isn’t until November, yet we want
your vote now. What’s up with that?
Over
the past 12 months, we have asked you to look at, think about, and photograph
our local transportation system. It’s been more than a simple exercise in
taking photos, but a chance to highlight how we all rely on transportation in
our daily lives – from recreational mountain biking to freight supporting our
economy.
Your
friends, neighbors, and colleagues have been photographing the many aspects of
the Treasure Valley’s transportation system and sharing their photos with us
through the “Treasure Valley On the
Go!” photo contest.
We
received 116 photos from 34 photographers from around the valley, showing how
they see the Treasure Valley “on the go” in their lives. The photos are
creative and diverse – from historic railroad bridges to brand new bikes, from
shady paths to snowy roads. The entries truly capture the gamut of
transportation options in the Treasure Valley.
With
the help of our Public Participation Workgroup, we narrowed the entries to 41
photos, which are now open for public voting. This is where you come in. We need you to select the winning photos
by voting online by 11:59 pm, Tuesday, September 14, 2016. It’s easy – simply click, check out the photos,
vote for your favorites, and submit.
The
top 12 photos will be used in the 2017 “Treasure Valley On the Go!” calendar –
three representing each of the four transportation components that will be
included in Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 (bicycle/pedestrian,
freight, public transportation, and roadway). Other entries will be used in
COMPASS outreach materials, on the COMPASS website, on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and more. Watch for them wherever you
see COMPASS materials.
The
calendars will be available for free later this fall. Watch for
announcements when they are available, then grab yours and enjoy a year of
seeing the “Treasure Valley: On the Go!” through the eyes of your neighbors.
