Because our transit system depends on the sales tax, it is devastated by the recession. 400,000 people use transit every day, 53 percent for work or school/college. The devastating reduction to transit, which we are facing will nearly cripple us and will certainly delay or derail our recovery.

There is a plan, which will lessen the cuts: to raise funds from a $20 fee on car registrations, for 2 years only. We need to get this passed in the King County Council on July 25. Sadly, some of our King County Council members feel that transit is not very important.

Please help! Contact your King County councilmember and say that transit service is very important to you personally and to life and function in our community.
