Jim Haggerton, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director..
DATE: July 15, 2011
SUBJECT: Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center
Project No. 90610402
Acceptance of State Regional Mobility Grant
ISSUE
Formal City acceptance of a State Regional Mobility Grant for the Tukwila Urban Center Transit Center.
BACKGROUND
At the October 4, 2010 Transportation Committee, City staff was authorized to submit a grant application
to the Washington State Department of Transportation Regional Mobility program for right -of -way
acquisition and construction of the Tukwila Transit Center Project. Staff submitted various other grant
applications in the past, either directly or jointly with King County Metro. Although they were very
competitive, none had been successful. This grant application was successful and has been incorporated
directly into the Washington State biennial budget. According to CIP Policy #12, staff must get approval
from the full Council before accepting grants.
DISCUSSION
The State's Regional Mobility Grant Program requires a local match of at least 20% of the total cost of the
project, in direct contributions. City funds, mitigation funds from Westfield, and funds from the Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) grant can be used as matching funds. The attached draft 2012 CIP page
shows the current estimated expenditures and schedule.
The State's Regional Mobility Grant also establishes an expected expenditure schedule matching what
was submitted as part of the grant application. That schedule was developed using the best known
information available for the natural timing and progression of the project. Part of the schedule assumed
that the construction of the new Transit Center would be in 2013, making the grant request stretch into
the 2013 -2015 State Biennial Budget.

Il. Project scope summary (based on original grant application)
The Tukwila Transit Center project will eliminate transit inefficiencies, safety problems and expand and
replace the existing, inadequate transit stops located at the intersection of Andover Park West and
Baker Boulevard. The improvements will create a coordinated, high quality bus facility to
accommodate current and future passenger demands, promote transit ridership, provide expanded
capacity for transit service (King County Metro, future Sound Transit Express and Rapid Ride F- Line),
and improve passenger and business safety and security. The combination of all improvements will
enable the Tukwila Transit Center to go beyond addressing existing deficiencies, creating a forward
looking manifestation of the vibrant pedestrian oriented urban environment envisioned for the Tukwila
Urban Center. The Transit Center will link together the redeveloped Southcenter Mall and the future
Tukwila Urban Center Core along Baker Boulevard. The Transit Center will create a gateway to the
city for transit riders and to the adjacent districts for pedestrians. Efficient transit routing will improve
transit service and support the future Rapid Ride F -line, connecting four designated urban centers:
Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, and Renton. The site's location at Andover Park West and Baker Boulevard
is the heart of Tukwila's designated Urban Center, one of the Puget Sound Region's core cities.

Summarize the problem in relation to both the local public transportation system and the broader
regional transportation system (include the location and the specific congested corridor or situation).
Current Metro bus routes must make out of direction travel to serve the the Tukwila Transit Center (Southcenter Mall). A full service on- street transit
center with mirrored stops for bi- directional service must be built in Tukwila to support efficient BRT operation as well as improve safety and
operation of standard transit service. Metro has increased frequencies of the two major service routes: Route 140 (future Rapid Ride F -line) and
Route 150 with 15 minutes headways but not expanded the capital facilities to support these service commitments. The 3,000 daily customers who
use the facility do not have sufficient area to stand or sit without encroaching on adjacent private property due to the substandard facility. Only two
standard Metro shelters provide inadequate cover for existing bus patrons. The Rapid Ride F -Line, which will connect Sound Transit's LINK and
Sounder /AMTRAK stations in Tukwila to the Renton and Burien Park and Ride lots will begin service in 2013 and will connect to the major trunk
route (Rt 150) in South King County at the Tukwila Transit Center. An improved Tukwila Transit Center is needed to provide a facility that will
support the BRT which in turn will provide a frequent transportation alternative to the congested 1405 /SR 518 corridor as well as provide an
improved connectivity and efficiency point for bus routes between Seattle and all of South King County.
Summarize how the proposed grant project addresses the problem.
The Tukwila Transit Center project will eliminate transit inefficiencies, safety problems and expand and replace the existing, inadequate transit stops
located at the intersection of Andover Park West and Baker Boulevard. The improvements will create a coordinated, high quality bus facility to
accommodate current and future passenger demands, promote transit ridership, provide expanded capacity for transit service (King County Metro,
future Sound Transit Express and Rapid Ride F- Line), and improve passenger and business safety and security. The combination of all

3. Project Description (one page)
2011 ®2013 Regional Mobility Grants
The Tukwila Transit Center project will replace the existing, inadequate transit stops located near the intersection of
Andover Park West and Baker Boulevard in the City of Tukwila with an expanded, high quality Transit Center to
accommodate current and future passenger demands, promote transit ridership, provide expanded capacity for transit
service include King County Metro's Rapid Ride F -line (BRT) and future Sound Transit Express, and improve passenger
and business safety and security. Work will include construction of:
1. New northbound and southbound stops and bus bays along Andover Park West. The existing in -line and pull -out stops
in the northbound and southbound directions will be replaced by 2 -bay and 3 -bay stops.
2. A new curbside stop to replace the existing stop on Baker Boulevard (eastbound direction).
3. BRT electronic "real time" signage and ORCA/ticketing system as well as other route and transit system signage.
4. Enlarged passenger shelters and passenger amenities for all stops.
5. Enhanced lighting and other treatments to improve rider safety, security, and comfort using Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.
6. New security systems (emergency call station and potentially closed circuit television) to further improve rider safety.
7. Landscaping and other treatments to reduce impacts between the transit zones and neighboring properties.
8. Increased sidewalk area and improved accessibility for waiting and mobility at the Andover Park West/Baker
Boulevard intersection to support safe and efficient pedestrian movements, and mitigate current pedestrian safety issues.
The project has been designed to coordinate with a recent expansion of the Southcenter shopping mall immediately to
the west of the site, and will promote safe and efficient pedestrian movements to /from that location. The project is also
designed to be integrated with the future redevelopment of Tukwila's Urban Center Core to the east of the site, and is a
necessary component of meeting travel demand management requirements for the Tukwila Urban Center as a whole.
The Tukwila Transit Center has been designed to accommodate the Rapid Ride F -line, scheduled for implementation in
September 2013, and is considered critical to the success of that BRT route.
The purpose of the Tukwila Transit Center is two -fold. First, the developmentof the Tukwila Transit Center will directly
address the issues noted above with respect to the current transit stops. Second, the Tukwila Transit Center will be a first
step towards implementing the future envisioned for the Tukwila Urban Center of a vibrant, pedestrian oriented
live /work/play urban core, setting the standard for quality redevelopment and catalyzing implementation of the larger
vision.
Transit zones will be expanded in length and width, providing ample area for transit operations and waiting passengers.
These improvements will enable accommodation of anticipated growth for the foreseeable future, including the future
Rapid Ride F -line.
Pedestrian safety and convenience will be considerably enhanced. The walk distance for riders transferring between
routes at the northbound and southbound stops will be reduced by 300 feet. The designated crosswalks will be located in
the direct line of travel between the two stops, substantially reducing the motivation to jaywalk. Enhanced pedestrian
crossing facilities at the Andover Park West /Baker Boulevard intersection will further improve pedestrian safety and
convenience.
Crime and safety concerns will be addressed through improved lighting, implementation of security technologies,
removal of problematic items such as the existing payphones, incorporation of shelter and landscape design that does
not impede visibility, and creation of an attractive and easily maintainable waiting environment. These design treatments
will be complemented by increased cooperative enforcement by Tukwila and Metro Transit police.
The Transit Center boundaries will be clearly defined with landscaping and a low, attractive fence marking the edge
between public and private property. This buffer will enhance the waiting environment while channeling transit riders to
designated waiting areas and pedestrian paths.
Two shelters will be provided per bus bay along with ample individual seating. Together, high quality new shelters,
passenger amenities, and landscaping will significantly increase the comfort of waiting passengers, encouraging transit
use by new and existing riders.

Describe the congestion problems your proposal addresses. The explanation should relate the project
to both the public transportation system and the broader regional transportation system and should clearly
demonstrate the connection between the problem and your proposal.
The future Rapid Ride F -line project, which is scheduled to begin revenue service in September 2013 will provide a parallel route and a
transportation alternative in the congested SR 518/1 -405 and 1 -5 corridors. The improvements that accompany the implementation of the Rapid
Ride F -line service will reduce the duration of each bus trip by seven minutes in each direction. Service will increase to all -day two -way frequency,
further reducing average passenger wait time. The route links regional transportation facilities Sound Transit's Link and Sounder /AMTRAK
facilities in Tukwila and beyond Tukwila to Burien's and Renton's transit facilities. The BRT route will connect with the Seattle South King County
trunk line at this Transit Center that acts also as the transfer point between north south and east west transit service.
1-5 and 1- 405 /SR 518 corridors are part of the National Highway System, as well as Highways of Statewide Significance. They are also listed as
T -1 and T -2 in the Freight and Goods Transportation System. (Washington State Highway System Plan (2007- 2026.) The State's Highway
System Plan has recommendations in the following adjacent areas due to deficiencies and congestion: 1-5 from milepost 139.5- 154.53 is a
congested corridor with a $130.8 million Tier III improvement; 1-405 from milepost 0 -4, is a heavily congested corridor with mobility deficiencies and
several major congested interchanges, with a $1.2 billion Tier III improvement; SR518, milepost 0 -3.42, is a congested corridor with mobility, safety
and operational deficiencies with a $6 million Tier I improvement; SR 518 from milepost 3.42 -3.43 is a congested corridor with mobility and safety
deficiencies with a $7 million Tier III improvement; and SR 518 from milepost 2.49 -2.5 has mobility and operational deficiencies with a $118 million
Tier III improvement.
Rapid Ride seeks to complement the region's fixed -route and high capacity transit network by providing intermediate capacity transportation in
corridors that are either: l) not identified for service by the region's light rail network in the regional long range plan, or 2) identified for potential
light rail extensions in long range plans, but not for consideration as a near -term alternative for more than a decade. Capital improvements will
provide a travel time benefit for Rapid Ride buses; creating a fast, frequent and more reliable transit service in the congested SR 518/1405 corridor.
A focus on Bus Rapid Transit in this corridor will address many of the issues that currently impede transit travel along the corridor.
Transit delay caused by traffic congestion, which if mitigated, can make transit a more competitive and viable alternative to the SOV;
Opportunity to improve travel times through routing and service design improvements as well as transit priority measures;
High ridership already exists (15,300 weekday boardings in and within 'fz mile of the corridor) and is expected to grow as the corridor becomes

Transit facilities necessary to accommodate the RapidRide F Line, a bus rapid transit (BRT) project, is the focus of this grant application. Ridership
projections are that RapidRide F line will serve over 1.5 million passengers after the first five years of operation. Metro has identified the following
elements of RapidRide that will set it apart from other Metro service:
Transit stations at high ridership and high volume transfer points along a route with real -time bus arrival information, with enhanced shelters that
share common elements throughout the RapidRide network;
10- minute frequency during peak hours and 15- minute frequency or better on weekdays; and,
A definitive brand that is identifiable and unique, a distinctive name for each RapidRide line, common elements among RapidRide bus zones, and
marketing material that represents RapidRide as a new and unique service, set apart from other Metro service.
The planned BRT route will connect four core cities Burien, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila, as shown in Map 2. All four cities are designated regional
growth centers by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) as part of Vision 2040.22% of the region's population and employment growth is
expected to be concentrated within these and the other 10 core cities, with direct access to high capacity transit and a range of land uses including
parks, retail, and open space.
The City of Burien is currently home to over 30,000 residents and 15,000 jobs. The City of SeaTac is home to over 25,000 residents, and is a major
center of employment, driven largely by the Seattle- Tacoma International Airport, and over 30,000 jobs. The City of Tukwila has two regional centers,
the North Tukwila Manufacturing Center and the Tukwila Urban Center, which includes the Southcenter mall. Nearly 35,000 jobs are located in these
two centers and over 17,000 people live in the City of Tukwila. The City of Renton is home to over 80,000 residents and 40,000 jobs. The primary
transit route that currently operates between Burien and Renton is Route 140. Route 140 provides over 670,000 trips annually and over 3,000
boardings daily. This highly used, frequent service will be improved in 2013 to become RapidRide F line.
The cities of Burien, Tukwila and Renton provide a strong base of employment and housing for the RapidRide F line, which will travel along this same
alignment and provide more frequent and reliable service in this corridor. The Tukwila Transit Center provides a direct connection to the main South
King County /Seattle trunk line the Metro 150.
Transit Mobility Opportunities
The Burien- Renton corridor has many transit mobility opportunities that can be met with proposed RapidRide service. Transit travel time can be
reduced to the benefit of existing and potential ridership. Travel time, a primary driver of transit ridership growth, can be reduced through
implementation of better service design, with more direct service, less frequent stops, Transit Signal Priority (TSP) and traffic channelization
improvements.
High ridership already exists.
Over 15,300 weekday boardings along the proposed BRT corridor are forecast. With improvements to frequency and the passenger experience, this
ridership number is the expectation in growth after the first five years of RapidRide operations,
Connectivity
RapidRide F Line will provide connections to major destinations and between modes. The corridor provides a key connection between four major
centers. Burien, Tukwila, Sea -Tac and Renton, which are all identified as regional growth centers by the Puget Sound Regional Council. In addition,
major transit facilities at Tukwila Southcenter is a major retail and employment center in the corridor. In addition, the Sea -Tac International Airport,
located just south of the corridor, is a major attraction for employment and residents throughout the region.
Intermodal connections.
The RapidRide F Line will improve intermodal connections as well as connections between transit providers. Connections will be provided:
To Sound Transit Link Light Rail at the Tukwila International Boulevard Station and to Sound Transit Sounder commuter and AMTRAK interregional
rail at Tukwila Station.

2011 -2013 Regional Mobility Grants
To RapidRide A Line at the Tukwila International Boulevard Station
To park and ride facilities at Burien, Renton, Tukwila International Boulevard and Tukwila Longacres Transit Centers.
To transfer points at all four transit centers including the Tukwila Transit Center at Southcenter Mall which serves the main transit trunk route
150 between Seattle and South King County.
To several bicycle and pedestrian connections including the Cedar River Trail, the Green River Trail and the Interurban Trail, increasing the
attractiveness of connections between bicycle, pedestrian and bus. RapidRide buses will ease bus and bike connections by featuring bike racks
that accommodate three bikes.
Burien The Burien Transit Center, at the west end of the Rapid Ride F line corridor, is served by 11 Metro routes and one Sound Transit Route.
Five routes provide all day connections to destinations such as downtown Seattle, Des Moines, Highline Medical Center, Auburn and Kent.
Tukwila At Tukwila International Boulevard Link light rail station, connections to Sound Transit Link light rail to downtown Seattle and Sea -Tac
International Airport are provided and riders will also be able to connect to the RapidRide A Line with service between Tukwila and Federal Way.
At Southcenter, a major retail and employment center, five routes meet at an on- street transfer center, providing a connection to Southcenter mall
and destinations including West Seattle and downtown Seattle and connections to neighborhoods. Tukwila Station, just east of Southcenter, is
served by Sounder commuter rail and Amtrak inter regional rail service.
SeaTac Through SeaTac, one Metro route and one Sound Transit route will travel the same segment as the F Line on 154th Street between
Tukwila Boulevard and Des Moines Memorial Road. These routes provide connections to the Sea -Tac Airport and West Seattle as well as to Kent
and Auburn.
Renton Multiple routes in Renton overlap Route 140 for a short distance between Renton Transit Center and the South Renton Park and Ride,
along Rainier Avenue South and Grady Way. South Renton Park and -Ride is at 100% of capacity on an average weekday. The Renton Transit
Center will be the eastern most portion of the Rapid Ride F line corridor and is served by 15 routes providing connections to destinations including
downtown Seattle, Rainier Beach, Kent, University District, Bellevue and Overlake.
There is existing transit infrastructure in the corridor including existing passenger facilities including shelters throughout the proposed alignment.
The City of Renton and King County Metro are coordinating construction of BAT (business access transit) lanes along a portion of Rainier Avenue
South due to high transit volumes. The Rainier Avenue South corridor will incorporate BAT lanes between South 2nd Street and SW Grady Way.
Additionally, Rainier Avenue South will have improved sidewalks, transit stops, and an eastbound transit queue jump at South 3rd Street.
Additional improvements are planned improvements RapidRide F Line corridor, discussed below, including significant improvements to roadways
and passenger facilities. RapidRide is expected to improve both travel times and frequency in the Burien- Renton corridor. Current peak period
travel time along the corridor ranges from 45 to 50 minutes. Improvements are expected to reduce travel time by up to seven minutes in each
direction. Segments of the corridor will see a greater increase in passenger capacity over the baseline alternative. Headways of 10 minutes or less,
or six one -way transit trips per hour, are planned during the peak. In the corridor, this improvement is equivalent to nearly a 65% improvement in
transit service that travels between Burien, Sea -Tac, Tukwila and Renton.
Tukwila's urban center must have a transit facility to serve the proposed growth in employment and population allocated by the PSRC. Rregional
and local transportation and land use plans identify the Transit Center as the location for focused growth and transportation service. In cooperation
with Washington State and its guidelines, the City has adopted a Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan. As one element of its effort to address
congestion and air quality, Tukwila has voluntarily created a plan for and.designated a GTEC for the Tukwila Urban Center, with this Transit Center
as tool for solving congestion and serving as a transportation solution. The City of Tukwila has been focused and targeted in its land use,
transportation planning and regulatory decision making. The expansion of the Southcenter Mall was conditioned such that ROW and funding were
provided for the Transit Center and a TDM plan was created that depends upon improvements to the Transit Center, Tukwila's plans and decisions
are in line with state, regional and local goals for addressing population and job growth. Providing transit facilities so that anticipated growth and
existing demand can be met and congestion reduced and air quality improved is the goal of this proposal. Tukwila has established partnerships
with its businesses through its CTR plan and programs and approved transportation demand management plans. Tukwila has established
partnerships with its transit providers through funding and service commitments on capital improvements.

Washington State 8. Financial Plan Description
VAP Department of Transportation 2011 -2013 Regional Mobility Grants
Describe the funds you are providing to the project. (If applicable, attach documentation)
$1,481,000 City of Tukwila General Fund
$500,000 Westfield Corporation
$468,000 Transit Oriented Development Federal Appropriation
$2,449,000 Cash Contribution
$343,000 ROW Dedication Value from Westfield Corporation
$2,792,000 Total Matching Funds (37% match)
Describe the contributions of any financial partners on the project. (For all financial partners a letter of
concurrence, award letter or other financial document from the organization must be included.)
The Westfield Corporation has provided $500,000 in cash and land dedication valued at $343,000 toward this project as
a mitigation measure offsetting their parking variance. With the recent major expansion of Southcenter Mall, less
parking than City code requires was approved with the mitigation payment and land dedication. Westfield Corporation
and the City of Tukwila believe that less parking is required with a high quality transit facility adjacent to the mall. The
following letter from Westfield documents their continued support for this project.
Describe any undocumented financial contributions or other unique aspects of your financial plan.
While it is most effective and preferred that the Tukwila Transit Center be constructed in a complete unit, phasing
construction is an option should incomplete funding be presented. Phase 1, the west side of Andover Park West
(southbound direction) can be constructed first on the existing ROW. Travel time benefits for the Route 156 will not be
realized and the effectiveness of the Rapid Ride F -line would be reduced due to the additional travel time of 3 minutes
per each westbound trip. Phase 2 on the east side of Andover Park West and the ancillary stop on the south side of
Baker Boulevard could be constructed at a later date. Design of the full Tukwila Transit Center will be completed
independent of available construction funds, making the full, or partial, project shovel -ready in 2011.
Please describe how you plan to maintain funding for the service or facility after Regional Mobility
Grant funding expires.
The City of Tukwila and King County Metro jointly maintain the existing transit zone that will become the Tukwila Transit
Center. This agreement will remain in force and labor will continue to be funded by general operating dollars. Further,
King County Metro has the authority (granted by the Washington State Legislature in 2009) to levy additional property
taxes up to 7.5 cents per 1,000 dollars of assessed value. The legislation specified specific uses for some of the levy
funds but the remainder of the tax revenue can be spent on any transit related expenditure. The majority of those funds
are the primary funding source for the Rapid Ride lines. A local option sales tax in King County is specific to transit,
thereby isolating transit expenditures from competing King County financial needs. Operation of the F -line will cost
approximately $5,400,000 annually (in 2010 numbers) which represents 0.009% of Metro's $586,000,000 operating and
maintenance budget

Dear Steve:
Westfield LLC is pleased to support the City of Tukwila's Regional Mobility Grant request to
construct the Tukwila Transit Center. Providing key transit and pedestrian improvements and
linking up the Sounder Commuter Rail Station and the Link Light Rail station with the urban
core will benefit Westfield as well as other businesses in the area.
Westfield Southcenter is a super regional shopping center and major employment destination
located in Tukwila. Westfield just completed a $240 million expansion that added
approximately 400,000 square feet of retail shops, dining and entertainment uses for a total of
1.7 million square feet. Our expansion included a significant investment in the Tukwila Transit
Center, including a contribution of $500,000 towards its design construction and a provision
of land for its expansion. A grant for its construction will complement the private dollars that
Westfield is investing alongside King County and Tukwila public investments, to get this
important project done.
The City of Tukwila is a great place to do business. We support the City's efforts to construct
the Tukwila Transit Center.
Sincerely,
Antony Ritch

miles traveled. (Include justification for ridership or utilization assumptions; site examples and documentation.)
The benefits of the Tukwila Transit Center cannot be overstated. Beyond the economic and redevelopment impacts, the
benefits to riders especially choice riders is exceptional. System efficiency is benefitted by both accommodating for
in- direction travel for existing routes but also by providing'the necessary facilities for one of the four key Rapid Ride
stations for the future F -line route. The existing facility is already a major transfer point, but with construction of the
Tukwila Transit Center, this site will become a major transit hub in South King County. The Tukwila Transit Center is
key to the success of the F -line and will provide the needed connections between Sounder /Amtrak, LINK light rail, Metro
Route 150, and the urban centers of Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila and Renton.

Re: Regional Mobility Grant 2011 -2013 Biennium
Dear Mr. Eldridge:
King County wishes to express its support for the City of Tukwila's $4.7 million request to the Regional
Mobility Grant program for the Tukwila Transit Center project.
The Tukwila Transit Center is located along King County Metro's planned RapidRide F Line and has
been identified as a future station location. The RapidRide F Line will feature high frequency service
(every 10 to 15 minutes) during most hours of the day, faster boarding by using low -floor articulated
hybrid buses with three doors, faster service by spacing stops farther apart, improved bus stop facilities
and security, a proof of payment fare system with on -board fare inspection, and special branding. The
RapidRide F Line will provide service between the Burien Transit Center and the Renton Transit Center
via Tukwila Transit Center, It will provide connections to other Metro routes as well as Sound Transits
Commuter and Light Rail services. RapidRide F Line is scheduled to be implemented in 2013.
The Tukwila Transit Center is an important step towards Tukwila implementing its vision and strategy
that meets the community needs today, while also building a foundation for the future. The Tukwila
Transit Center project is consistent with King County's transit plans and policies.

The Tukwila Transit Center serves the Tukwila urban center and acts as the regional John Marchione
transit hub for 2200 daily customers (Perteet, 2004.) This facility is the central transit Redmond Mayor
facility in one of the three South King County urban centers. It is currently served by Joe Marine
Metro Route 140, a key connector that will in time be replaced by Metro's Rapid Ride Mukilteo Mayor
system (Line F) thereby linking Sound Transit's commuter rail and light rail systems Pat McCarthy
and the WSDOT /AMTRAK partnership with Seattle Tacoma International Airport Pierce County Executive

3. RCW 70.235.070 requires project "consistency" with the state Greenhouse Gas
emission limits, and Vehicle Mile Traveled reduction benchmarks found in RCW
47.01.440. Please describe how your proposed rp oiect is consistent with RCW
70.235.070.
The Tukwila Transit Center provides an attractive, efficient, safe alternative to SOV drivers along the SR
518, 1 -405 corridors and beyond. Travel time and routing efficiencies for existing transit routes as well as
a facility supporting the future Rapid Ride F -line go a long way in reducing green house gases and
vehicle emissions, especially when factoring in the hybrid vehicles that are used by Rapid Ride. The
potential reduction of over 22 million vehicle miles traveled in South King County by Year 4 of operation
is a notable achievement consistent with the directives of RCW 70.235.070 and 47.01.440.

ENDORSING THE U S MAYORS CLIMATE PROTECTION AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, the U S Conference of Mayors has previously
adopted strong policy resolutions calling for cities,
communities and the federal government to take actions
to reduce global warming pollution, and
WHEREAS, the Inter Governmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) the international community's most
respected assemblage of scientists, has found that
climate disruption is a reality and that human
activities are largely responsible for increasing
concentrations of global warming pollution; and
WHEREAS, recent, well documented impacts of climate
disruption include average global sea level increases
of four to eight inches during the 20th century; a 40
percent decline in Arctic sea -ice thickness, and nine
of the ten hottest years on record occurring in the
past decade, and
WHEREAS, climate disruption of the magnitude now
predicted by the scientific community will cause
extremely costly disruption of human and natural
systems throughout the world including increased risk
of floods or droughts, sea -level rises that interact
with coastal storms to erode beaches, inundate land,
and damage structures; more frequent and extreme heat
waves, more frequent and greater concentrations of
smog, and
WHEREAS, on February 16, 2005, the Kyoto Protocol, an
international agreement to address climate disruption,
went into effect in the 141 countries that have
ratified it to date, 38 of those countries are now
legally required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on
average 5 2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012, and
WHEREAS, the United States of America, with less than
five percent of the world's population, is responsible
for producing approximately 25 percent of the world's
global warming pollutants, and
WHEREAS, the Kyoto Protocol emissions reduction target
for the U S would have been 7 percent below 1990
levels by 2012, and
63
WHEREAS, many leading US companies that have adopted
greenhouse gas reduction programs to demonstrate
corporate social responsibility have also publicly
expressed preference for the US to adopt precise and
mandatory emissions targets and timetables as a means
by which to remain competitive in the international
