A MOTION approving a 2007-2008 work program and strategic plan scope to update King County's transit policy and strategic planning structure.
Body
WHEREAS, King County provides public transportation services to the citizens of King County, and
WHEREAS, the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Long Range Policy Framework for Public Transportation were adopted as the Comprehensive Plan for Public Transportation by Resolution 6441 of the council of the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (METRO) in 1993, and
WHEREAS, by Ordinance 12074, the metropolitan King County council readopted and ratified Metro Council Resolution 6441 in 1995, and
WHEREAS, 2007 will be the final year of the current Six-Year Transit Development Plan, and
WHEREAS, in November 2007, the voters of King County approved funding for Transit Now, a ten-year program of transit and capital investments, and
WHEREAS, the council previously recognized the need for transit operational and facilities master plans to provide a system-wide context for making individual service and capital investments, and
WHEREAS, a restructuring of the current transit planning framework would accommodate programs exceeding the range of a six-year plan, and also address the need for a short-term plan for consideration of new program initiatives and transit strategic plan implementation measures outside of the annual budget process, and
WHEREAS, a report describing the transit division's service and capital investment standards and guidelines would provide the public with a better understanding and appreciation of the design and operation of King County's transit system;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED, by the Council of King County:
The 2007-2008 Transit Planning Work Program and Transit Strategic Plan Scope, Attachment A to this motion, is hereby approved.
