AN ORDINANCE relating to public transportation; adopting updates to the Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021 and King County Metro Service Guidelines; and amending Ordinance 17143, Section 4.
body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. The King County council adopted the King County Metro Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021 ("the strategic plan") and the King County Metro Service Guidelines ("service guidelines") in July 2011 via Ordinance 17143.
2. The regional transit task force recommended that the strategic plan and service guidelines focus on the balancing of productivity, social equity and geographic value in the distribution of transit service.
3. The strategic plan and service guidelines are meant to be living documents, setting the policy for and guiding the implementation of the Metro transit service network by responding to growth throughout the county and incorporating regular review of policies by the regional transit committee. The proposed 2013 updates of the strategic plan and service guidelines address the following concerns:
A. The adoption of certain system-wide service standards, policies and methodologies to determine whether proposed changes will have a discriminatory impact based on race, color or national origin or will result in a disproportionate burden on low-income populations, as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Federal Transit Administration Circular 4702.1B;
B. Implementation of alternative services methodologies by updating of the service guidelines consistent with strategies 2.1.4 and 6.2.4 adopted by Ordinance 17386 in July 2012;
C. Revisions of the service guidelines to clarify language and policy intent to provide greater transparency; and
D. Updating the strategic plan and service guidelines to better link growth in transit service with growth and changes in communities in order to implement Ordinance 17143, Section 8.
