On Thursday, November 14, the Regional Chamber, Washington APEX Accelerator, and Washington River Protection Solutions hosted Meet the Buyer: Doing Business with Local Transit Systems. The workshop connected attendees with representatives from Ben Franklin Transit and Walla Walla Valley Transit. Attendees learned how to navigate the transit sector's procurement process, were informed on upcoming opportunities, and gained practical insights directly from the buyers themselves. Thanks to all of the attendees and presenters for joining us for this valuable session. Special thanks to Washington River Protection Solutions for sponsoring the Meet the Buyer program.
