Executive Constantine and Mayor Durkan announce Seattle voter-funded transit
service contract: If approved by councils, riders to see service maintained
and new benefits in September


King County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle Mayor Jenny A. Durkan
announced a new proposed contract for bus service funded by the
voter-approved Seattle Transportation Benefit District. 

The six-year measure could fund approximately 170,000 Metro bus service
hours annually, based on revenue projections.

Seattle's transit investments focus on ensuring frequency and convenience,
prioritizing service where needs are greatest, and addressing acute mobility
needs in areas like West Seattle. 

"The dedicated operators and frontline staff at Metro have helped keep our
region moving during the pandemic, getting essential workers and others
where they need to go," said King County Executive Dow Constantine. "As the
region recovers, Metro will work to ensure our economy and community are
more equitable and stronger than before. Thanks to the wisdom of voters, the
Seattle Transit Benefit District will play a big part in Metro's reliable
and frequent service." 

"The Seattle Transportation Benefit District is a critical tool for
providing equitable access to transit in our City. In 2020, Seattle voters
once again stepped up to support transit and transportation, especially to
ensure reliable Metro bus service for essential workers during this
pandemic. Our residents are the reason Seattle can claim one of the best
transit networks in the nation," said Mayor Jenny A. Durkan. "These
voter-funded investments are critical to ensuring we build back from the
pandemic better than we started."
