There is potential movement on a budget, which is the main item of business to complete, so if that gets done they may all consider mission accomplished and close the session. We'll wait and see if any transit funding comes out of the legislature this year.Martin Munguia (Community Transit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14481525152278971438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-38662398413986680982012-03-02T18:40:11.501-08:002012-03-02T18:40:11.501-08:00Yeesh Anonymous at 9:32.

Do you want them to take the farebox money to the bank?J.

Drivers, operations supervisors, dispatchers and maintenance workers make up 70 percent of the agency's workforce. The other 30 percent includes service planners, customer service reps, payroll, HR, training staff as well as other administrative employees.Martin Munguia (Community Transit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14481525152278971438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-43492957930149519822012-02-29T09:32:18.711-08:002012-02-29T09:32:18.711-08:00If there is a public vote I doubt it would pass, p...If there is a public vote I doubt it would pass, people do not trust govt. to properly spend additional tax money. More than half the employees at community transit are not bus drivers, we want more buses on the road, not more people behind a desk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-43065800156034480282012-02-28T20:34:18.715-08:002012-02-28T20:34:18.715-08:00I and many of the other transit riders I've sp...I and many of the other transit riders I've spoken with support ESSB 6582. I've also shared this with some friends who don't regularly ride transit and they also support this for they know the overall value of a strong transit system. <br /><br />Lets all call our legislators and get this passed! This is a very important bill and needs to be passed. There are so many of us in Snohomish County who rely on transit and with these recent service cuts due to a lack of funding, many of us don't have as many transit options. Transit agencies like Community Transit need more funding so additional service can be added once again. We also need to add service again on Sundays and holidays when funding becomes available again. <br />Lets work together to encourage our legislators to pass this bill. <br />Even people who don't use transit benefit by it due to less traffic congestion on our roadways.<br />Thank you for listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
