During the months of February and March, Sound Transit and the Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) are seeking public input on the draft Roads & Transit package.
The Roads & Transit package will present to voters a unified program of investments in freeways, light rail, commuter rail, HOV lanes, park-and-ride lots, and express and local bus service. Key features include:
- Reduction in traffic delays
- Faster travel times
- 42 miles of new light rail
- Major improvements to “highways of regional significance” and chokepoints--including I-5, I-405, SR-167, and the Cross-Base Highway
- 10,000 new park-and-ride stalls
- New HOV lanes
- Bike lanes, sidewalks, better connections
- Major freight routes improved
RAMP participants are encouraged to let Sound Transit and the RTID know if they're on the right track before a final Roads & Transit ballot is adopted for voter consideration in November:
- Monday, March 5th
- 4:30 – 7:30 p.m.
- Washington State History Museum
1911 Pacific Ave, Tacoma
