Seattle City Council increased the STBD proposal by 50% after advocates like you sent a clear message. Let's keep up the momentum.

 

	

 



	

 



Thank you for supporting transit. Mayor Jenny Durkan proposed a meager Seattle Transportation Benefit District (STBD) renewal  <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNDc3MDQzMTYxNzQxMTM3MjIwJmM9ZzFzOSZlPTE5MjgmYj0zNzkzNTAwMzcmZD12MmI0cTlq.OCY7ozB2o8f47iUAK_apWCp2zM66W9qtE2UUbrreJHQ> on July 7th and advocates pushed hard for more funding for bus service. The Urbanist joined with Seattle Subway to  <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNDc3MDQzMTYxNzQxMTM3MjIwJmM9ZzFzOSZlPTE5MjgmYj0zNzkzNTAwNDAmZD1pMmE4azFs.8wIOBrs3LuJehzcOmXPdnvXV92S_Ec5sd3uPehl3lHk> promote a letter-writing campaign that sent more than 700 messages to City Council asking them to double the Mayor's proposal  <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNDc3MDQzMTYxNzQxMTM3MjIwJmM9ZzFzOSZlPTE5MjgmYj0zNzkzNTAwNDMmZD1qNmU1bjV4.wtQTDFIDpUtxsLms5X0tajz9Y45pKAySTC3GM2A-Qow> as Councilmember Tammy Morales championed.

We didn't get the doubling we asked for, but we did create enough pressure that a 50% boost passed easily. ( <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xNDc3MDQzMTYxNzQxMTM3MjIwJmM9ZzFzOSZlPTE5MjgmYj0zNzkzNTAwNDYmZD1vM3U0azB5.s1OPBmPPFIyS0feCnJOTw0ZMwf166XpVET3k4X5ft-E> Only Alex Pedersen opposed it.) We still have to pass the ballot measure in November to secure the funding, but seeing the transit community come together, I'm confident it will pass. We'll need your help in the next fight.
