At our Executive Board we just approved funding from the federal government to support transit in the pandemic. I voted no. We talk a big game about equity... see if you can spot the equity here. This is shameful.
Region total $565.9m. Pierce Transit receives just $28.5m. Metro Transit in King County receives $258.2m

These inequities are rooted in the fact that Washington bases transit funding almost entirely on local wealth. We posture like a progressive state, but that's all it is... a performance.
