Issue Position: Fixing Transportation

Issue Position

With Washington State's burgeoning population we need long-term funding and planning to keep people and the economy moving. We must coordinate the multiple city, county and regional agencies that make up Washington's transit network. According to Sound Transit 3's own estimates, there will be only a 4.5% increase of riders choosing Sound Transit 3 instead of buses. Sound Transit 3 admits that their plan will not solve our I-5 congestion problem. The real solution would be to call for increased rapid bus transit, coupled with north/south lines and east/west lines, and added connector vans.
