At Transportation Reform, we believe transportation projects shouldn't take decades. We don't need endless delays and broken processes that serve only a few at the expense of the whole.
People are happier and healthier when they aren't stuck in traffic and have access to fast, frequent, and affordable transportation that takes them where they need to go, when they need to be there. We have committed $148 billion to this vision, yet it's threatened by ineffective processes and bureaucracy.
Transportation Reform is here to fix problems that have plagued us for decades and to ensure the promises made to voters are kept. Join us as we work to build the infrastructure our communities deserve.
Our Solution
Sound Transit is stuck in a cycle of delays, cost overruns, and compromised projects, preventing our region from getting the transit it needs. Projects that should take years and cost millions are instead taking decades and costing billions.
The West Seattle Link extension is a prime example. Originally estimated at $340-360 million per mile in 2016, it now sits at $1.63-1.73 billion per mile after eight years of planning.
Other cities move projects from approval to completion in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost. Washington needs reform to deliver on the promises made to voters.
Reform begins with the Legislature auditing Sound Transit's processes, fixing political barriers, and ensuring Washington can build infrastructure efficiently. We can't wait to fix this broken system—our economy, sustainability goals, and quality of life depend on it.
