Each year, Transportation Choices Coalition honors individuals, organizations, and projects that are transforming what it’s like to get around in Washington State. This year, we’re excited to recognize Spokane Reimagined and the Crosslake Connection Engineering and Design Teams for their outstanding contributions to expanding transit options.

Spokane Reimagined is a group of volunteer advocates led by co-directors Erik Lowe and Sarah Rose. They fight for the streets, sidewalks, and transit that will make Spokane more livable for all. This year, Spokane Reimagined helped lead the Yes for Buses campaign to victory in the face of the largest anti-transit campaign ever in a Washington State primary election. This win means transit riders in Spokane County will continue to enjoy expanded bus and paratransit service for the next 20 years!

Sound Transit’s Crosslake Connection Engineering and Design Teams successfully brought light rail across a floating bridge for the first time in the world. Talk about history made! This feat of engineering was envisioned, designed, and tested over the past 20 years, with contributions from hundreds of individuals. Now, the Crosslake Connection links Seattle to the Eastside, proving that ambitious infrastructure dreams are achievable.

We asked our newest inductees to share more about their work in their own words. Check out what they had to say in the link in our bio.

What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option?

Does an errand or a doctor’s appointment become a full-day commitment? Does a job become a question of access rather than ability?

If you can drive and have access to a car, these questions might seem like a non-issue. But the questions themselves reveal how much we assume everyone drives, when in fact about a third of Washingtonians are nondrivers due to age, ability, and other factors like affordability.

When you don’t drive, everything becomes a negotiation between time, money, energy, distance, and a tradeoff of what you can do and what you can access.

Today, Thursday, October 1, through Thursday, October 8, join us for the Week Without Driving.

Spread the word, and share your story! Use the hashtag , and tag us so we can amplify your story and show what transportation access really looks like.

Today, the Sound Transit Board is discussing a proposal to close the $34.5 billion gap on the agency's long-range plan. Together with our partners in the Build the Damn Trains coalition, we sent a letter outlining how they can keep working to deliver the full vision of Sound Transit 3.

We're asking the board to:

- Advance every project with a clear path and defined timelines
- Implement permitting reform now
- Develop a 2027 and 2028 state legislative strategy
- Partner with WSDOT and local jurisdictions on the projects voters approved, not add-ons
- Break ground in West Seattle
- Deliver the Graham Street and Boeing Access Road infill stations

Our coalition is out in force at today's meeting, and we'll be at the May 28th vote and every meeting that follows, ready to be partners in delivery and honest about what the moment requires.
