More:
School Transportation Funding : These companion bills propose increasing the dedicated state funding for "safe routes to schools" grants which allow local school districts to fund infrastructure, education and encouragement programs that support walking and bicycling to school extending the state's commitment to the Center for Safe Routes To School, a statewide resource providing training and best practices. return
Traffic Actuated Signals: This bill would require cities, counties and the state to make all new traffic-actuated signals detect bikes and motorcycles and to upgrade equipment at existing signals when significant upgrade work is being done. return
3-Foot Passing: To assist in educating the public, we are seeking to define safe passing as a minimum of 3 feet. Both the Washington State Patrol and the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs support the bill as a driver education tool. return
Construction Zones Compliance - The bill supported by the Bicycle Alliance will require compliance with Manual of Uniform Traffic Code Devices standards (which are already adopted by most jurisdictions) so that people who use wheelchairs, bicycles or their own two feet are considered important user groups when construction, repair, utility or maintenance closures and detours are necessary. return
Transit Oriented Development : These bills promote dense, multimodal transportation, particularly near major transit routes and stations such as light rail. Jurisdictions would be required to set standards for safe walking and cycling around "transit oriented development" and to establish and consider "level of service" standards for cycling and walking in the transportation plans. return
Residential Infrastructure: These bill’s would establish state grants to support dense housing near major transit stops by funding infrastructure improvements including sidewalks and streets. return
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: At the request of Gov. Gregoire, these bills would have Washington join the regional "cap and trade" program that includes western states and British Columbia. Currently, caps on individual transportation emissions are not part of the regional framework. return
Sunscreen Devices: At the request of the Washington State Patrol, this bill would set additional limits on the amount of sunscreening allowed on windshields, with the goal of ensuring safe visibility into and out of vehicles. return
DOT Rail Alignment: This legislation allows state agencies to conduct land swaps and move forward with development of a cross-state trail in the Milwaukee Road railroad corridor between Ellensburg and Lind. The law is set to sunset this year - this bill extends the timeline to 2019.
Public Trails and County Revenue: This bill allows a county to use existing sales and use tax revenues to build recreational trails, with emphasis on trail connections in urban growth areas.
