STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1.  Strategy 6.3.1 of the King County Metro Transit Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021, adopted on August 30, 2013, identifies partnerships with local jurisdictions and businesses as a potential revenue source to support transit service.
2.  On November 4, 2014, voters in the city of Seattle passed Proposition 1, which will raise revenue through annual vehicle license fees and sales and use tax revenues to stabilize and support transit service in the city of Seattle.
3.  In accordance with the objective of the strategic plan to secure sustainable funding for short-term transportation needs, Metro and the city of Seattle are prepared to enter into a fully revenue-backed service agreement to provide city financial support that would support transit service in the city of Seattle beginning with the June 2015 service change.
