Issue Position: Promoting strong public transportation options

Issue Position

I am convinced that public transportation is a necessity to a strong and vibrant community. As someone who relies on public transportation to help me commute between my home and my job, I know that it takes strong partnerships between all levels of government to ensure that access to jobs, schools, healthcare and family in all parts of the region is possible. Public transit is that connector, but without strong investments by local, state and federal levels; economic opportunity for all families is limited to the reach of their transit system and its affordability.

Increasing access, utilization and affordability of public transportation is a key element of a strong economy for our region and is a key priority for me in representing you and your family in Olympia.
