Description

Each month the Chamber hosts a luncheon where you can come and receive updates on the Chamber and the community. The Chamber provides 80-100 attendees with the opportunity to become informed whether it’s through candidate forums, seasonal updates, or award ceremonies.  
 

Each year, Downtown On the Go honors downtown businesses for their exemplary work in sustainable transportation and commute options through the Transportation Innovator Awards. The awards acknowledge and celebrate work being done that helps meet the DOTG goal of reducing the number of single-occupancy vehicles by 11 percent by 2015. The Chamber Luncheon is an opportunity to honor the award recipients and hear from local transportation experts who are doing great things to improve transportation in downtown Tacoma.
