We have identified three potential areas of focus for our advocacy. This is the first area:
#1. Increase revenue for transportation options that serve those who most rely on public transit.

- Support legislation for sustainable, progressive funding for transit and walking/rolling infrastructure in the state legislature.

- Push transit agencies to take pro-equity actions that prioritize BIPOC, immigrant, disabled and transit-reliant populations when deciding how to allocate resources.
Are there parts of #1 that interest you or speak to your transportation needs? If so, please explain:
This is the second area of focus:
#2. Reduce policing of pedestrians and transit users.

- Work with allies to decriminalize “jaywalking,” being a pedestrian in the roadway, and other behaviors related to transportation access and remove police from traffic enforcement.

- Work to reform fare enforcement and to create alternatives to fines and/or progressive fine structures.

- Long term, advocate for fare-free transit to eliminate enforcement disparities and the criminalization of poverty.
Are there parts of #2 that interest you or speak to your transportation needs? If so, please explain:
This is the third area of focus.
#3. Advocate for every community to have accessible sidewalks, crosswalks, and transit stops.

 - Demand construction of sidewalks and curb ramps, installation of accessible pedestrian signals and appropriate signal timing for safe crossing, and the public maintenance of sidewalks and paths to repair cracks and remove debris and snow/ice.

- Push for funding and installation of bus shelters, benches, trash cans and lighting, prioritizing areas with low transit frequency.
Are there parts of #3 that interest you or speak to your transportation needs? If so, please explain:
We are also considering the following issues areas for future work.
1. Eliminate Driver’s License requirements in job postings for positions that don’t require driving in both public and private employers.

2. New Mobility That Works for Disabled, BIPOC, Low Income and Immigrant Communities. Ensure on-demand transportation options such as ride hailing (Uber/Lyft), Via to Transit and taxis are accessible and inclusive for disabled and low-income riders and caregivers, provide equivalent levels of service for all users, and do not exploit subminimum wage immigrant and BIPOC labor. Ensure delivery robots and micromobility create benefits and new access points instead of additional burdens for and policing of disabled, BIPOC, low-income and immigrant Washingtonians.

3. Fight for communities where everyone can afford to live and access essential services. Ensure that investments in expanded public transit access don’t create harms in existing communities. Push for essential services (low-income housing, groceries, childcare, healthcare facilities) in every community.

Please let us know if any of these interest you, or if there are additional areas of advocacy we should consider.
