The Select Committee on the 2024 Transportation Levy will host its second and final public hearing on the levy renewal at 4:30 PM tomorrow at Seattle City Hall.
The Select Committee is chaired by Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka (District 1). It is tasked with reviewing and amending the levy proposal before it’s sent to voters this November.
Chair Saka’s proposal
On Friday, Chair Saka announced his initial proposed changes to the levy. That proposal includes:
- Additional funding to prioritize safety, enhance Seattle’s economy, and better protect our climate;
- Increased accountability by adding stronger oversight of levy spending; and
- Measures to limit the cost impacts of the levy on some vulnerable groups, like qualified seniors, people with disabilities, and disabled veterans.
You can find more information about Chair Saka’s proposal in this memo.
