Our final Dispatch from Olympia of the year includes budget wins, what’s next for jaywalking reform, and more.
Dispatch From Olympia
In Olympia we work with state legislative champions to pass policies and protect and grow investments for transit, walking and biking across the state. We bring together environmental, social justice and health partners to ensure policies are holistic and equitable. Major priorities include growing the multimodal account, supporting transit agencies and ensuring an equity lens is used for transportation policy development.
Last Week of Session!
House and Senate transportation leaders have been working to iron out the differences between their versions of the supplemental transportation budget, and we’re excited to see where they land!
