Orcas Island Transportation Workgroup


January 28, 2012 · 5:05 PM

The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a meeting on Monday, Feb. 13, 1 to 4 p.m. at the Eastsound fire hall for anyone interested in exploring alternative modes of transportation on Orcas Island including shuttles, bikes, rideshares and more.

A grant was recently awarded to the San Juan Islands Scenic Byway to help explore alternative transportation options for both San Juan and Orcas Islands.

"San Juan Island has established a work group of community members and we would like to create a committee to take the lead on Orcas Island regarding this issue as well," say organizers. "Bring your thoughts and ideas."

To attend, RSVP to Terri at the Chamber office at 376-2273 or info@orcasislandchamber.com.
