Hi there!

I am EMBARK's project manager for the RAPID's first bus rapid transit (BRT) Northwest line. If you have any questions about the project or anything referenced in this update, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Public transit is always a work in progress, but we know that where public transit goes, community grows. Thank you for your patience throughout the construction process.

Kristen Torkelson,
Sr. Project Manager
