Spokane is what happens when thoughtful city leadership meets effective grassroots activism (Sarah Rose and @spokanereimagined.org are doing awesome work). Racking up real wins on housing and safer streets. Turns out we can try bold things to fix our cities without first studying them for years.

Thanks to Spokane voters for 2 decades of better buses. This campaign won in face of the largest anti-transit campaign in a primary in state history.

Can anyone identify a local transit ballot measure that passed in spite of the opposition campaign spending significantly more $$ than the support campaign? I mean, other than Spokane Transit in 2026. @apta-info.bsky.social @humantransit.bsky.social @alonlevy.bsky.social

Really amazing how resistant some transit boards are to adding rider reps. You will get direct input from the most important stakeholders (lord forgive me for using that term) who know best what works for riders on important decisions. But you don’t want that? Suss AF

The politicians on the STA Board are considering delaying a sales tax reauthorization to (ugh) create space for a jail ballot measure. Please use this tool to send them a note urging them to move forward with reauthorization today. Only takes 30 seconds!

Just always so impressed by @spokanereimagined.org 's work. Sounds like their #WeekWithoutDriving bus stop bench build has prompted STA to not just do a shelter or nothing at bus stops but to add benches more often. Among other things.

Spokane Transit quietly served over 15,200 passenger boardings on Sunday, March 1, the first time ever surpassing 15k passengers for STA on a non-Bloomsday Sunday. Overall, Sunday ridership is running 33% higher than pre-COVID levels, representing the highest growth rate among service days.

Despite some opposition on Facebook and Nextdoor, public comment was about 60-40 in favor of Option 1, which restripes Grand to one lane each direction (from two). Better yet, Transportation Commission voted *UNANIMOUSLY* to recommend Option 1 to @mayorspokane.bsky.social and City staff! 🎊 🎉

Spokane Reimagined @spokanereimagined.org · 04/12/2025
"Mobility on Demand" is a means for local governments to subsidize their poor land use decisions with precious transit agency funds. To illustrate, operating cost per passenger @ Spokane Transit Authority in 2024 was $9.42. Fixed-route service efficiency increases as ridership does, MoD does not.

I feel like it’s getting lost that driving downtown is a *CHOICE.* If you don’t want to pay a modest parking tax, don’t drive downtown! Take the bus! Walk! Bike! Take a scooter!

A vibrant, safe, and prosperous Spokane depends on repurposing these blighted parking lots with housing and retail. Absent a Land Value Tax, a commercial parking tax is the next best thing, which is why over a dozen jurisdictions in Washington have already implemented one.
