Everett Transit & Community Transit are better together. This would deliver a lot more bus service to the people of Everett, rather than cuts. Excited to rally for it with @snotrac.bsky.social

It’s a tight race tonight, but extremely proud of this team & campaign. We’re going to win two decades worth of better bus service for Spokane

Might have inhaled a tree or two lit dropping today. Worth it to show up for the STA operators who literally drove into a fire to evacuate people on Saturday.

Today started off with the biggest canvass yet in Spokane for Yes for Buses with Teamsters Local 690. By afternoon, it ended up being more eventful than we’d like. Immense gratitude to the firefighters, staff & leaders who are keeping Spokane safe

Open up @transit.app in Spokane? You’ll get a nice reminder to vote Yes for Buses on Tuesday!

Kirk Hovenkotter @kirkhovenkotter.com · 15/07/2026

Just 3 business donors have raised $125k to cut bus service for Spokane’s seniors, youth, & working families. Compare that to the $60k the Yes for Buses campaign has raised. Spokane needs your help

The board is all in! The Pierce Transit board unanimously approved sending a transit funding measure to voters this November! Huge thanks to @ryanmellotacoma.bsky.social & the whole PT board for moving this forward!

The Seattle Transit Measure before council isn’t satisfied w/ the bus service we have today. It’s a bold proposal that will deliver the city we want to be. Had a blast rallying for it w/ @mayorofseattle.bsky.social @fixthel8.bsky.social @saveballardrail.bsky.social @seattletru.bsky.social & ATU 587

I’m calling it. It’s time to open these streets up to people more often

Kirk Hovenkotter @kirkhovenkotter.com · 31/05/2026

The past 8 months showed this region wants light rail more than ever. That was obvious from our townhalls, the marches, & the region wide advocacy we haven’t seen since the vote in 2016. The last thing this region wants is for us to stop building.

Watching light rail cross a floating bridge while biking on a safe, car free street. Be still my heart

Super thankful for the Québec Provincial office in Seattle for making this trip happen. It’s cliche to say, but I’m definitely inspired

We had the chance to learn at the REM & TramCité projects, but what blew me away was the unique funding & delivery model of their pension system CDPQ Infra. It invests part of its $500b holdings into building transit infrastructure. It like if PERS in WA funded Sound Transit.

Besides language, Québec & Washington State have a ton in common. Both have ~8 million people, huge hydropower industries, growing populations, & expanding transit networks

This is huge for Everett transit riders. Consolidation makes the best use of both systems, meaning more bus routes, more often, to more places

SB 6309 is permitting acupuncture. By allowing Sound Transit to purchase property while filing permits, it can cut 2 years off delivering light rail. Thanks for everyone who answered our call & signed in pro. And thanks to @governorferguson.bsky.social for making it law. Let’s #buildthedamntrains

None of the Sound Transit approaches presented today are good enough. Voters & riders want to build the damn trains. The board needs to adopt these policy recommendations & direct staff to come back with better options transportationchoices.org/build-the-da...
