The Seattle Transportation Levy: Join us at council hearings to advocate for safe biking

  • Together, our advocacy added bike investments totalling $114 million in the Mayor's Proposed Levy. We need to secure the $114 million and push for more. 
  • The City Council now has 6 weeks to finalize the proposal before voting it onto the November Seattle ballot for voters to get their say. Sign up to join us at upcoming public hearing dates on the Seattle Transportation Levy to make sure Council knows biking investments matter and should not be cut.
  • Read below for a reminder of where Council members stood on biking when they were on the campaign trail last year. (hint: they all said they support biking)
