Seattle Transit Measure Renewal

The Seattle Transit Measure pays for extra bus trips and free bus passes for low-income residents. It expires in April 2027.  

In coordination with our regional partners, we’re currently working on a proposal to renew the measure. 

This May the Mayor will share her renewal proposal with the Seattle City Council. This summer, the City Council will review the proposal and consider referral to voters.
