The 2020 Summit is designed to bring the recovery community and our allies together to get your energy and input on policies and practices that will advance treatment and recovery across our state.

What’s coming at the 2020 Summit:
-Opening plenary with Lauren Davis
-Recovery Panel
-Breakout sessions on legislative advocacy topics
-Our online Zoom “cafe” to interact and network
-Plus a little WRA gift 🙂

Please take a moment to complete a survey from UW colleagues on mobility impacts from COVID-19. The survey will take 15 min or less depending on your employment status. https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/moudon/390833

The pandemic has abruptly changed travel habits of most people in the region, with telecommuting, online shopping, virtual socializing, and remote learning becoming much more widespread. UW researchers and planners at the Puget Sound Regional Council are interested in getting a better understanding of how these changes affect people’s behaviors, attitudes, and well being.  Findings from this IRB approved survey will provide important information on how people have adjusted to working from home. Lessons may be learned to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution after the threat of COVID-19 is gone.
