Transportation Call to Action

That's right.....the job is not finished and our Chamber is once again rallying our members for a final push to request a special session this November!

YOUR ACTION IS URGENTLY NEEDED!

The Governor and state Legislature are considering a special session, possibly at the end of November, to pass a transportation package.  This package, as it stands currently, is likely to include a significant number of projects that will benefit the South Sound region including:

Hwy 167 expansion and completion

Hwy 509 expansion to link with I-5 and Port of Seattle

I-405 interchange with Hwy 167

Tolled express (HOT) lanes from Renton to I-90

Completion of the Federal Way Triangle

Improvements on I-5 at JBLM

WE NEED YOU TO CALL OR EMAIL YOUR THREE LEGISLATORS THIS WEEK WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES:

• Please support and work for inclusion of the projects (listed above) important to the South Sound region.  

• These projects could bring more than 100,000 jobs to the region by reducing traffic congestion, improving freight mobility and increasing the ability for our ports to be globally competitive – THIS BENEFITS THE ECONOMY OF THE ENTIRE STATE AND INCREASES OVERALL STATE REVENUES. 

• Support reform ideas which bring greater transparency to project costs, increase accountability, reduce overall costs for road projects and speed up the permitting process so projects can be done more efficiently and quickly to enhance the benefit to the state’s economy.

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PACKAGE NOW RATHER THAN WAITING.  Many of our South Sound projects have been planned and studied for 30-50 years.  Our economy cannot afford to wait any longer.  The revenue investments will be worth the vote!
