Reports and Communications: • Reports: Pleased that Hwy 18 was added to SCATBd's 2019 Legislative Agenda. • King County Regional Transit Committee Update: Metro system evaluation looking at route by route transit service.

Metro Paid Parking Permit Program — Tristan Cook, King County Metro, Connecting to Transit Group. King County is implementing a paid parking permit program and is seeking public comment during the public rule consideration period. The program would offer $20 per month permits to ORCA users and allow for a dedicated parking space at Metro owned and operated park and ride lots. The dedicated spot would be made available until 10 a.m. to allow for more flexible schedules. Permits for single occupancy vehicles would cost between $60-120 per month — far less than the cost of parking in downtown Seattle. The program hopes to begin selling permits in June and begin operations in July. Questions: How is METRO going to enforce that permit holders must ride transit an average of 3x/week to maintain their permit? We will check ORCA ridership to verb. How much revenue will program generate? Not intended to be a revenue generating program but will most likely yield $IMthat will be used on improvements to access to transit. Council has required a report on intent to use those revenues. Up to 50% of the stalls permitted? Carpools, ORCA Lift — do they know the % breakouts? 50% is the highest % of allocated parking spots. The actual % will be tailored to actual # of stalls and need. Enforcement — how is that going to work? Work with our vendor to review hang tags that look different every month. Verging through records and license plates. In regards to the parking fee, in SeaTac we have a local parking tax. Will the parking fee Metro is charging be subject to local parking taxes? If you are not parking in the same spot everytime, it is subject to sales tax. METRO will follow up on this. (See follow-up questions/answers document) What about the lot in Federal Way? This only applies to METRO lots at 90% capacity. (Federal Way lot is a WSDOT owned lot). For people that have handicap parking permit, can they use this? Always have handicap available. Adjust when we hear that it is full. 4. WSDOT'SR 518 Study Update: Thomas Noyes, WSDOT Regional Planning. Thanks to the Port of Seattle that agreed to contribute an additional $400k for more enhanced, modeling work. Variety of growth, construction, transit and other factors have led to the need for this study that will perform traffic analysis, conduct community and stakeholder engagement, develop corridor alternatives, document study findings and collect data related to peak period intersection counts, truck flows, transit service. The study will also compare local Comprehensive Plans and other planning documents 59
