Trouble Ahead For Initiative To Merge Transit Agencies

8 August 2003 - 12:00pm

Trouble ahead for the initiative that would have consolidated 3 regional transportation agencies.

"A statewide initiative that would have consolidated three regional transportation agencies under one independently elected board apparently has died."... "The initiative would have merged Sound Transit, the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Regional Transportation Investment District under a seven-person Regional Transportation Accountability Board."
