Transit East Link FEIS, August 2011 (pdf)
ETA’s MissionETA believes there are clear transportation choices that will allow us to
go where we want to go, how we want to go, and when we want to go. We are a
private-sector group whose membership includes concerned citizens, business
representatives and transportation professionals who are dedicated to making
these choices happen.
Our goal is to bring objectivity and simplification to the political
decision-making process to define, select, fund and implement transportation
projects. We support policies that encourage each mode of transportation to
operate efficiently and economically to meet growing demands.
Rather than using costly transportation projects to try to change or
influence human behavior, we want to develop a transportation system that
supports increased efficiency, productivity and quality of life.
Finally, ETA recognizes that state funding must be uniform and is limited
by the economies of rural areas. We believe, therefore, that state dollars
must be supplemented by regional funding to meet the growth demands of the
three-county region of King, Pierce, and Snohomish.
