SUMMARY:South King County leaders to speak at Transit Town Hall at Highline College on Wednesday\, May 13
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 13\, Transportation Choices Coalition and the Build the Damn Trains coalition will host “The Future of Sound Transit 3 Projects in South King County.”  \nThis is the final eventin a series of Transit Town Halls hosted in all five Sound Transit sub-areas. \nIt will run from 6–7:30 p.m. at Highline College’s Building 2 (map below). \nThis will be an opportunity for the public to hear directly from Sound Transit staff and Board Members about the work the agency is doing to close a $34.5 billion budget gap on its long-range plan. A proposal presented to the Sound Transit Board today would complete planning and design for the long-promised Boeing Access Road Station\, but does not yet fund construction. Additional Sounder and parking investments will also be discussed. \nWednesday’s Transit Town Hall at Highline College will feature opening remarks from King County Executive Girmay Zahilay\, followed by a panel discussion with King County Councilmember Steffanie Fain and Tukwila Mayor Thomas McLeod. It will be moderated by Holden Ringer of Transportation Choices Coalition. \nSound Transit is facing increased costs to build\, operate\, and fund its system over 25 years due to rising construction costs\, inflation\, and revised revenue projections. In response\, the agency has launched the Enterprise Initiative\, a process to examine how to restructure or scale back parts of the system to close that gap. \nPlease join us at this upcoming event: \n“The Future of Sound Transit 3 Projects in South King County” \nFeaturing: King County Executive Girmay Zahilay\, King County Councilmember Steffanie Fain\, and Tukwila Mayor Thomas McLeod\nModerated by: Holden Ringer\, Advocacy Manager at Transportation Choices Coalition\nWhen: Wednesday\, May 13\, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.\nWhere: Highline College\, Building 2\, 2400 S. 240th Street\, Des Moines\, WA 98198 (map below) \nThis event will include a panel discussion\, followed by a moderated audience Q&A. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE\nTransportation Choices Coalition is a policy and advocacy nonprofit bringing people together to fight for safe\, equitable\, and sustainable transportation across Washington State. Since 1993\, they have been leading the way to build a transportation system that connects people to jobs\, education\, housing\, health care\, communities\, and each other. They led the successful “Sound Transit” ballot measures in 1996\, 2008\, and 2016 to build and expand light rail across the Puget Sound region. \nBuild the Damn Trains is a broad coalition of transit\, labor\, environmental\, and housing advocates. It calls on Sound Transit Board Members to: 1) Deliver the full system voters approved without canceling projects\, 2) Keep projects moving because delays only drive up costs\, and 3) Honor Sound Transit 3 as a regional investment that connects workers\, families\, and communities across King\, Snohomish\, and Pierce counties.
