I. Open Meeting
After opening comments and introductions the Board adopted the meeting summary of their July
15, 2014 meeting.
II. Reports, Communications and Citizens Requests to Comment 46:00
Vice -Chair Bill Peloza reported on the National League of Cities (NLC) progress on a resolution
regarding the movement of hazardous waste materials which includes crude oil. He said the draft
resolution will go to transportation and public safety committees for review. The next step is a
review by the NLC Board of Directors and then final approval. Councilmember Dana Ralph
reported on the release of a Safe Energy Leadership Alliance draft letter asking for an emergency
order establishing a near -term timeline for prohibiting the shipment of Bakken oil and other
highly flammable materials in rail cars known as DOT-111 tank cars.
Mayor Dave Kaplan reported on meeting Seattle Mayor Murray on the ballot measure to
supplement the loss of transit funding. The group discussed regional opportunities for
partnership with other cities to retain transit service. Mayor Kaplan mentioned that there is still
public support for expanding transit but felt the $60 car tab was the wrong approach.
Councilmember Wayne Snoey reported that Representative Sullivan and Senator Fain will attend
the October 21 SCATBd meeting to discuss a possible transportation package in the 2015
Legislature. Debbie Wagner, representing the "Flight Pattern Kids ", addressed the Board about
the health problems of people who grew up around the SeaTac Airport. She asked the Board to
send a letter to Governor Inslee asking for a study on impacts of ultra -fine particles from jet fuel
13
on health of surrounding population. She also asked that cities affected by SeaTac Airport's
flight path to contribute to and to another small study to understand the impacts of the airport on
the health of children growing up around the airport. A point of order was made regarding this
Flight Pattern Kids public comment item and asked the Chair to decide if this is a more
appropriate agenda item for a future meeting, the Chaired agreed. Paul Takamine informed the
Board on the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposed
regulations regarding enhanced tank car standards and operational controls for high - hazard
flammable trains. He said comments on the proposed regulations were due to PHMSA by
September 30, 2014.
III. PSRC's Pacific Gate Way (Coal) Terminal Economic Impact Study — Sean Ardussi,
PSRC
Sean Ardussi, PSRC Senior Planner, presented the PSRC's study of the Economic Impacts of the
Gateway Pacific Terminal. SSA Marine is proposing to develop the Gateway Pacific Terminal in
Cherry Point, Washington into a dry bulk commodity export - import facility to handle coal trains.
At full build out, the terminal's total export capacity would be approximately 54 million metric
tons of dry bulk commodities per year which would make it the largest facility of its type on the
west coast. This would add a total of 18 new coal trains per day (9 to the terminal and 9 from the
terminal). The major findings of the economic impact study included:
• Development and operation of the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal would lead to new
jobs, mostly during the construction phase and mostly in Whatcom County.
• The proposed Terminal may have an impact on rail capacity in the central Puget Sound
region.
• Rail freight traffic is already projected to double by 2035 in Washington State.
• The most direct economic impacts on the central Puget Sound region will be due to increased
rail traffic through cities and counties where there are at -grade crossings and where an
increase in coal train rail traffic could affect land use, land value and access. Mitigation is
possible in most if not all cases, but may be costly.
Federal, State, and local authorities determined that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
was required for the development of the terminal. Drafting the EIS began in 2013 and will
require approximately two years. Permitting decisions will not be finalized until the EIS is
completed.
IV. Sound Transit /King County Metro Integration Initiative — Chris OClaire (KC Metro),
Racheal Smith (Sound Transit)
Rachel Smith, Sound Transit and Chris OClaire, King County Metro, briefed the Board on the
transit integration report that was released to the public in September, 2014. They reported that
King County Executive Constantine, as head King County Metro Transit and as appointed Sound
Transit Board Chair, initiated an effort to bring together transit agencies in the Puget Sound
Region to better integrate their collective projects and services. The report summarizes
implementation work done over the past three months, is focused on services in King County,
and introduces a blueprint for next steps.
Sound Transit and Metro have identified short- and long -term actions to increase integration of
planned and new services and to ensure new facilities are built to provide the best service to both
14
rail and bus passengers. The report identified areas with immediate benefit and where more work
is needed to fully achieve potential benefits. These areas include:
• Immediate steps to provide transit options for riders affected by impending cutbacks in Metro
service; short- and long -term planning to ensure existing light rail and RapidRide bus
services leverage as much integration and efficiency as possible, maximizing transportation
choices for the region;
• Bus and rail integration with the opening of Link light rail to the University District and
Angle Lake Station in SeaTac in 2016; to Northgate in 2021; and to the Eastside, Lynnwood,
and Kent/Des Moines in 2023; linking long -range planning efforts underway at both agencies
to ensure they are integrated and complement one another;
• Study of additional integrated bus /rail networks in system planning for a likely future Sound
Transit ballot measure, customer - focused initiatives to make all transit service in the region
easier to understand and use; and exploration of potential operational efficiency in areas such
as security and public safety.
They said they will be broadening this transit integration work in the months ahead to include all
the partner agencies, including the state. Ms. OClaire said the Executive's 2015/2015 budget
includes funding to develop a long range plan that will include a long -term integration with
Sound Transit services.

Fund Major Projects for an
Integrated Transportation Grid:
The following projects are necessary to cre-
ate a fully functional and integrated trans-
portation grid to move people and freight in
the South Sound Region. Transit, all types of
vehicular transportation choices and air qual-
ity will benefit!
• Completion of I -5 /SR 509 through
SeaTac to Federal Way.
• Completion of SR 167 from Puyallup to
SR 509 in Tacoma.
• Completion of the I- 405 /SR 167 Inter-
change and increasing capacity in the
1 -405 Renton to Bellevue corridor.
• Completion of the I -5 /SR 18 /SR 161
Interchange (Triangle Project).
• Properly connecting SR 18 to SR 167.
• Completion of SR 18 from Hobart/
Issaquah Road to 1 -90 at Snoqualmie.
• Expansion of the Stampede Pass Rail
Line & N/S Main Line improvements.
Create Better Funding Tools for
Preservation of Local Systems:
Available local financing tools do not allow
local jurisdictions to maintain, operate and
preserve their existing systems. In South
King County alone, the estimated cost to
preserve roads over the next 30 years is
over $2 billion. Further, local transit fund-
ing is not sufficient to maintain existing
transit services. We request that the
Legislature:
• Provide funding for expansion and
maintenance of local streets used for
regional freight and vehicle mobility.
• Authorize new local options for fund-
ing local transportation maintenance.
One of these potential funding sources
showing promise is the Street Mainte-
nance Utility legislation.
• Support a more diverse and stable
funding source to maintain transit
service, This is important to provide
travel options for our diverse communi-
ties in the South County Area.
Provide Funding for Local
Government GMA Needs:
For many years, local governments have
been accepting growth consistent with the
requirements of the Growth Management
Act. However, revenues have not been suf-
ficient to provide the infrastructure neces-
sary to support this growth. We are short
hundreds of millions of dollars to provide
street and transit improvements. New
funding sources must be provided to
finance growth!
Invest Now to Keep /Grow Jobs:
Competition from Canadian ports and the
expansion of the Panama Canal has the po-
tential to relocate thousands of jobs from our
region. We must improve freight mobility in
and out of our region! Jobs provide security
and a stable community. Long commute
times take away from family time and stalled
traffic creates air pollution. Cutbacks in
transit service cause more traffic and green-
house gas. The time is NOW to invest in
regional transportation improvements!
