A moment to celebrate. Excited for this much needed investment in our city and its future 🙌🏽
We’re headed to the ballot! Thank you @SeattleCouncil for unanimously approving the next Seattle Transportation Levy, and thanks to everyone who spoke up to make it the biggest levy in Seattle’s history. This will be a generational investment in safety, equity, and sustainability

We’re standing by New York advocates and transit riders today. Congestion pricing was a bold policy to reduce emissions and fund public transit. Cities around the nation and world were looking to New York to lead; cutting this program will impact us all.

HUGE shoutout to @transitapp for boosting our call action to hundreds of thousands of riders all across the city!
If @GovKathyHochul thinks she's heard the last of riders who are FURIOUS about this $15B backstab, let us be very clear—we're just getting started.
Help BLOW UP @GovKathyHochul's line and tell her DO NOT DEFUND TRANSIT!

Transit safety is extremely important. The answer is about a lot more than enforcement.
Very proud to share some official updates from @TranspoChoices — we have a lot to do and we are focused and ready.
We have a new Strategic Plan! Check out our new mission and vision statements, values, and strategic goals that integrate our commitment to racial equity, and strengthen our commitment to transformative policy and advocacy work for communities across WA. transportationchoices.org/st…
Pretty joyful in Tacoma this morning. Celebrating the opening of Hilltop extension, all the speakers saying the hard work to build this project has paid off. 27% of households in this area don’t own cars and this connection will be life changing.
Really excited for 2024. Thanks for working on a solution to bring the Eastside online and Lynnwood on track @SoundTransit @KccClaudia @MoveRedmond and others!!
Get ready for new Link service on the Eastside next spring!
We’re forging ahead to launch 2 Line service between eight East Link Extension stations in spring 2024, followed by service to Lynnwood next fall.
Head to our blog for all of the details: soundtransit.org/blog/platfo…

The common problem in every death here is cars hitting kids on bikes, not e-bike regulation.
It is our violent transportation system, and the narratives like this that uphold it, which we need to fix.
