Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. Ordinance 15582, adopted by the King County council, submitted to the voters a proposition authorizing an additional sales and use tax of one-tenth of one percent for the operation, maintenance and capital needs of the King County Metro public transportation system in a manner described in Attachment A to Ordinance 15582, titled Improvements Funded by Transit Now. The ordinance provided for a bus rapid transit line serving the cities of Shoreline and Seattle (the E Line), one of five RapidRide bus rapid transit lines to be implemented as part of the transit network.
2. At the November 7, 2006, general election, King County voters approved Proposition No. 2, Public Transportation System Sales and Use Tax, authorizing the additional sales and use tax provided for in Ordinance 15582. The King County canvassing board certified the election on November 28, 2006.
3. The King County council adopted Ordinance 15670 on January 8, 2007, authorizing the levy and collection of the additional sales and use tax beginning on April 1, 2007, and requiring that the proceeds from the tax be used for the operation, maintenance and capital needs for King County Metro public transportation in the manner described in Attachment A to Ordinance 15582, titled Improvements Funded by Transit Now.
4. The King County council adopted Ordinance 16717 on November 23, 2009, which established the transit division's 2010/2011 budget and committed King County to serve the current ridership and close the funding gap through multiple strategies. One strategy, supported in part by federal funds, is the implementation of a RapidRide network that serves all of King County, including an additional RapidRide line serving Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila and Renton (the F Line).
