Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee III - Get Involved

Gathering Community Input

It’s no secret that there are more transportation needs than funding. To help prioritize the work that the Seattle Department of Transportation does and recommend funding sources, the Mayor and City Council have convened the Citizen’s Transportation Advisory Board (CTAC) III.

Over the last few months, the CTAC reviewed the city’s transportation needs and funding system. They are now starting to work on a recommendation. Guidance from city stakeholders was critical so that CTAC could make well informed decisions. Below is a summary of the how the public was invited to get involved.

1. About 400 people responded to a phone survey.
   
   
2. Over 2,000 people participated in an online survey.
