New Bill Gives Transit Agencies Opportunity to Include People Who Rely on Transit to Improve Service - Disability Rights Washington
Today Governor Bob Ferguson signed into law HB 1418 which adds two voting members that are transit users to the governing body of public transportation benefit areas. This law amends Washington state law to allow PTBAs to appoint two voting members to their governing boards, one who is transit-reliant and one from an organization that serves transit-reliant communities.
