Initiative 2117 | Intercity Transit

Facts on Initiative 2117's Impact on Intercity Transit

Initiative 2117, or I-2117, would repeal the 2021 Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which funds the Move Ahead Washington legislation that allocates $3 billion for public transit over 16 years.

If passed, the initiative would eliminate a projected $143 million in funding for Intercity Transit over the next 14 years:

$64 million in operating costs for bus and Village Vans transportation services.
$24 million for Dial-A-Lift (paratransit) services for the elderly and people with disabilities.
$48 million for zero emission vehicles and necessary charging infrastructure.
$5 million to provide faster service along Martin Way.
$2 million for active transportation safety and education.

These investments would improve mobility for those who need it most, provide real reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and improve safety in our community.
