Body

                     WHEREAS, the King County Metro's Alternative Services program brings transportation service to parts of King County that do not have the infrastructure, density or land use to support traditional fixed-route bus service, and

                     WHEREAS, the King County council approved $12,000,000 for these alternative services in the 2015-2016 biennium budget, and

                     WHEREAS, Ordinance 18110, Section 49, Proviso P8, amended the 2015/2016 Biennial Budget Ordinance, Ordinance 17941, to withhold the expenditure or encumbrance of $1,000,000 of the $12,000,000 until the executive transmits a report and a motion that accepts the report and the motion is passed by council, and

                     WHEREAS, the report must address but not be limited to:

                     "1.  A plan for implementation of an alternative services program providing service between the campus of the University of Washington-Bothell and Cascadia Community College and the cities of Woodinville and Bothell, which shall be designed to address travel needs of college students and employees; individuals living or working in the cities of Woodinville and Bothell; and other transit consumers;

                     2.  The community outreach plan used to identify stakeholders.  The plan shall include members of the public; students, staff, and administrators of the University of Washington-Bothell and Cascadia Community College; local governments; private businesses; and other transit agencies providing service in the area, who shall be consulted on the design, financing, and implementation of the alternative services program;

                     3.  The costs of implementation of a preferred alternative services program and any financial partnerships developed to pay for these costs;

                     4.  Potential ridership including individuals affected by other bus service changes, geographic coverage, access and linkage to the regional transit network and the services being or planned to be delivered; and

                     5.  A comparison of this alternative services program's estimated cost and ridership with the cost and ridership of other alternative services programs operated by the county in the past five years," and

                     WHEREAS, in January, February and March of 2016, in partnership with the cities of Bothell and Woodinville, the University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia College, King County Metro staff conducted a public engagement process to identify transportation needs and gaps in Bothell and Woodinville, and

                     WHEREAS, the results of the public engagement process were community-led recommendations for a suite of alternative service solutions to address transportation needs and gaps in Bothell and Woodinville;

                     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County:

                     The report entitled Bothell Woodinville Alternative Services Proviso Report, included as Attachment A to this motion, describing an engagement process and an implementation plan for an Alternative Services program providing service between the campus of the University of Washington-Bothell and Cascadia College and the cities of Woodinville and Bothell is hereby accepted as required in the 2015/2016 Biennial Budget
