SPOKANE, Wash. —

The Spokane Transit Authority is using $360,000 in federal and state grant money for a study of a possible trolley or streetcar system in downtown Spokane.

Chief Executive Susan Meyer told The Spokesman-Review the city could win federal transit grants for the system.

The transit authority is talking with city officials about options for the consultant's study.

Meyer says there's a need for better transit connections in the downtown area, including Gonzaga University, hospitals, government buildings, the convention center and inner-city neighborhoods.
