  • 2020 Gaps Analysis Executive Summary
    2020 GAPS ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A variety of unique transportation gaps exist in North King County, an area that includes the cities of North Seattle, Shoreline, Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and Woodinville. These gaps may be spatial, temporal, institutional, infrastructural, or awareness gaps. Seeing these needs, a community task force supported by the North King County Mobility Coalition formed to understand the region's unique needs better. The purpose of this analysis is to: Understand the mobility challenges in the North King County region for populations with special transportation needs and, in doing so, better coordinate members and service providers to facilitate mobility improvement projects. As a result of this analysis, the North King County Mobility Coalition has identified several prioritized projects and actions for the region. Whether you’re a resident, an elected official, a human service organization, or a private business, a unified voice is required to enact these changes and ensure transportation better serves people throughout North King County. We invite you to join in on these conversations. Accomplishing projects related to the needs identified in this report will result in many benefits for the region and the people our coalition aims to serve. The most prominent recommendations for the North King County Region identified by this report are as follows: ► Directly engage with all North King County cities around transportation issues outlined in this Gaps Analysis and implement actions that will address these issues. ► Increase outreach to underserved communities, especially limited English speakers. ► Alternative services should be as low-barrier as possible with their intake process.

  • Suggested Route Changes for Fall 2012
    Suggested route changes for fall 2012 C Line – New Map of suggested change Suggested change • The new RapidRide C Line would connect Westwood Village and downtown Seattle via Fauntleroy, Morgan Junction, and Alaska Junction, replacing Route 54 and Route 54 Express (current map). Learn more about the C Line. Reason for change • Service investment. Metro is making a service investment in the C Line, its third RapidRide line. New service hours and facilities are expected to speed service and make it more reliable, attracting higher ridership. • More network connections. The C Line would provide a frequent, direct, all-day connection between Westwood Village and downtown Seattle via Fauntleroy, Morgan Junction, and Alaska Junction. It would offer connection opportunities to many frequent routes. • Simplify service. RapidRide service has features that make it easier to use, including real-time information signs and frequent service throughout the day.

  • 4 Detailed Definition of Level 2 Alternatives
    4 DETAILED DEFINITION OF LEVEL 2 ALTERNATIVES Based on the conclusions of the Level 1 alternatives evaluation, two light rail alternatives and one BRT alternative, along with the TSM/Baseline and No Build Alternatives, were advanced to the next level of development and evaluation. The findings of the Level 1 evaluation also resulted in recommended refinements and modifications to all of the build alternatives. This chapter summarizes the detailed definitions of the No Build, TSM/Baseline, and three build alternatives carried forward for Level 2 evaluation. Additional information and more detailed alignment and station illustrations are provided in the Level 2 Definition of Alternatives Technical Memorandum (Sound Transit 2011f). The assumptions and guiding principles for the development of the Level 2 alternatives remained the same as those described in Section 3.7.1 for the Level 1 alternatives. 4.1 NO BUILD ALTERNATIVE The Level 2 No Build Alternative included only those improvements committed and funded for implementation by the transportation providers in the region. The Level 2 No Build Alternative was unchanged from that defined in Level 1. 4.1.1 Transportation Facilities Only those physical improvements currently funded and committed as of fall 2010 are included in this alternative. Within the study area, these improvements include a number of minor lane additions and modifications to eliminate choke points along I-5, traffic management, and driver information improvements on I-5; and the completion of roadway, BRT, and intersection improvements to SR 99 in Shoreline. The most significant change from today in the study area included in the No Build Alternative is the assumption that light rail extends north to Northgate.

  • King County Impact Analysis
    MEMORANDUM To: Executive Dow Constantine From: Rob Gannon, King County Metro John Taylor, Department of Local Services Date: September 18, 2019 Subject: Analysis of Initiative 976 impacts in King County Introduction. Initiative 976, “Bring back our $30 car tab fees,” would repeal or remove authority to impose certain vehicle taxes and fees; limit state and local license fees to $30 for motor vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less, except charges approved by voters after the measure's effective date; base vehicle taxes on Kelley Blue Book value; require regional transit authorities to retire bonds early where allowed; and either reduce or repeal taxes pledged to bonds depending on whether bonds are retired by 2020. I-976 will be on the November 2019 ballot statewide. This memo provides a summary of the potential impacts of I-976 to King County Metro, the Roads Services Division, and the regional transportation system. It is based on analysis performed by the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM), King County, and local jurisdictions. More information on this analysis can be found in the Technical Appendix that begins on page 4. Impacts on King County and local communities. King County does not currently collect a vehicle license fee (VLF) or motor vehicle excise tax (MVET), the taxing sources that would be repealed by Initiative 976. However, the State of Washington, Sound Transit, and 13 King County cities use these tax sources to fund mobility projects in King County, including many operated by Metro or Roads Services. It is difficult to definitively determine the effects of the initiative because its implementation will rely on future decisions of the Legislature, city councils, and Sound Transit Board, and resolution of any potential legal challenges.
