Disaster Preparedness Workshop For local Government
This workshop is for those in local government who may find themselves asked to make decisions during an incident-who are not professionally trained in emergency management. It is intended to get local elected officials, town managers and other department heads oriented as to what they should be doing well ahead of an incident to prepare their organization, themselves and their community for that worst day before it arrives.

As an organization CASTA wants to extend a huge "thank you" for those of you who supported Proposition 110. We appreciate your engagement, for taking the time to share information with co-workers, friends and family and most importantly voting!
As the Let's Go Colorado Team said, "While the election tally at the end of the evening was not what we hoped for, we are proud of the work we did together. Colorado’s transportation needs – at the state and local level – will continue to grow. This coalition is deep, bipartisan and strong. Together our voices will continue to tell this important story."
We will be keeping up with the latest in transit as usual in our eNewsletter, Blog, Facebook and LinkedIn Pages.
Once again, thank you!
