What people are saying
“A vote for Prop 1 is a vote for a Better Spokane. Spokane Transit Authority connects people to jobs, doctors appointments, groceries, social services, and school. It puts opportunity within reach of more people, and gives them a way to get out of traffic and enjoy cleaner air. On top of bus routes, paratransit, and vanpool, with this funding, STA will be able to leverage an $80 million federal grant to build bus rapid transit on Division Street, and transform the busiest street in the City.”
“Yes for Buses is a grassroots campaign to ensure working families in Spokane have the ability to get where they need to without breaking the bank. The Spokane Transit Authority offers critical transit services and affordable access to schools, jobs, healthcare, and recreation for this community. A “Yes” vote is a vote for a strong local economy and a sustainable and vibrant Spokane for years to come.”
“A robust transit system benefits the entire county, not just those who ride the bus. Frequent routes keep seniors independent, get students to events around town, connect workers with jobs, and make it easier to access healthcare, grocery shopping, and other essential services. Investing in public transit is an investment in our local economy, our environment, and our quality of life. Whether you ride the bus every day or only occasionally, a strong transit system helps reduce traffic, supports local businesses, and keeps our community connected.”
“Without enough funding, Spokane Transit Authority could be forced to reduce routes and
service hours, delay critical improvements, and fall behind the needs of our growing community.
Many commuters will lose access to public transportation. For working families, elders, students,
immigrants, refugees, and people with disabilities, buses are more than a service, they are a
lifeline. Proposition 1 allows us to protect this lifeline.”
