Seattle is gearing up for a significant vote in November regarding a proposed funding measure that aims to enhance public transportation. If approved, the measure will implement a 0.3% sales tax increase.
The funds generated from this tax will be used to add between 10 to 15 new Metro bus routes, significantly increasing the availability of public transport in the city.
In addition to the new routes, the measure also aims to maintain the extra bus services that are currently in place, ensuring that residents have reliable access to transportation.
