HB 1396: Trans ballot proposition

Providing a single ballot proposition for regional transportation investment districts and regional transit authorities at the 2007 general election.

Summary

  • Requires Sound Transit and the Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) to submit to regional voters their respective transit and highway improvement plans in the form of a single ballot measure, rather than as two separate ballot measures.
  • Maintains the current ballot measure contingency requirement by requiring support of the single measure by both a majority of Sound Transit voters and a majority of RTID voters.
  • Provides an expedited review process for any constitutional challenges to the single ballot measure.
