Transportation Footnotes

Transportation Choices Coalition, a transit advocacy group which—editorial bias alert, we love—released its wrap up analysis of this year's legislative session.
It's short, but not sweet for transit fans.
TCC higlights two bills—Rep. Marko Liias' (D-21, East Snohomish) effort to secure transit funding for bus service in Snohomish and Pierce Counties and Rep. Jim Moeller's (D-49, Tacoma) complete streets bill (which would mandate that transportation planners take pedestrian, bike, and transit needs into account when queuing up roads projects).
The footnotes on both bills? Well, here's what TCC says.
First, on Liias' bill (which never came up for a vote, although a savvy amendment on the Senate side that replicated the bill was struck down): "Unfortunately, the bill didn't make it all the way to the Governor's desk."
On Moeller's bill: "It did not come up for a floor vote."
This bill actually had support, but got hung up because it required a grant program—cities (like Seattle) that have adopted complete streets programs of their own, would be eligible for state money—that didn't have a funding source.
