Great news! Our campaign is the first of any in this year’s elections to collect 400 signatures and $10 donations from Seattle voters and begin the process of submitting for participation in Seattle’s Democracy Voucher program! And we did it in less than two weeks! Thanks everyone for your support!

What flexposts say: "We could use steel bollards but a bollard might scratch a car and that would be a tragedy. So, we're going to use these instead — things literally designed to be run over — because protecting even one car from a scratch is worth thousands of pedestrian deaths every year."

For the pay your fare bros in the back. Improving frequency, speeding up service and increasing ridership will always improve safety and increase revenue much more rapidly than squandering resources for more fare gates.
