Mountain View, Suite 501 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />Dear Mark Hollandsworth: <br />District Two <br />Laura Osiadacz <br />ERS <br />Three <br />'3rien <br />We would like to express our strong support for HopeSource's proposed Ellensburg- Cle Elum <br />Commuter Route. <br />The community survey conducted in July of 2018 identified that 57% would be using the bus as a <br />means to travel to work. This was followed by 35% using it for shopping, and 29% using it to get <br />to their medical appointments. <br />This type of transportation will help assure some of our most vulnerable populations have access <br />to employment centers, medical resources, and areas they can shop for essential commodities. <br />We recognize the vital service thgMopeSource provides to the rural residents of Kittitas County, <br />and we encourage the development of the Ellensburg- Cle Elum Commuter Route transportation <br />system. <br />Sincerely, <br />Laura Osiadacz <br />Chairman <br />Obie O'Brien Cory Wright <br />Vice -Chairman Commissioner <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COURTHOUSE • 205 WEST 5"', SUITE 108 • ELLENSBURG, WA 98926 <br />(509) 962-7508 - FAX (509) 962-7679 <br />%vww.co.kittitas.�va.us <br />
