104. Transportation hearing in Seattle 10/14

Our roads and bridges are crumbling. We have too many unfinished sidewalks and bike lanes. The stop-gap funding to prevent 17% cuts to King County buses goes away early next year. Other transit agencies have already made the drastic cuts. We need action right now.

The state Senate is hosting public hearings on transportation across the state, and has added a Seattle Hearing date on October 14th. The only way to pass a balanced transportation package in a special session this November is if the Senate hears loudly and clearly that voters like you are demanding action. They want to hear from you about what needs to be included in a transportation package. Let's show them the huge demand to save transit, fixing our roads and providing safe biking and walking infrastructure,

Monday, October 14th
6-9pm - WSDOT will present and then open it up to public comment
King County Courthouse, Room 1001: 516 3rd Avenue, 10th Floor , Seattle, WA 98104

Senate Transportation Committee co-chairs Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, and Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, announced a statewide listening tour aimed at gathering input from Washington residents on building a new package of transportation projects.

I can't make the hearing so I will volunteer 3 hours to help save transit service!

If you cannot attend the Bellevue hearing, consider attending one of the others around the state.

King County Metro is facing cuts that will eliminate 65 bus routes and reduce service on 86 more in 2014. It's time for action. A transportation system that works for all Washingtonians will right-size projects, support transportation choices and livable communities, and mitigate transportation's harmful pollution impacts.

We will see you there,

Thanks for your continued work.
