The Governor agreement with King County Metro Transit provides for WSDOT to fund Metro Transit implementation of bus and water taxi service enhancements and schedule adjustments necessary to mitigate traffic impacts and congestion caused by construction of a series of AWV projects. This agreement expires June 30, 2014. Because the AWV construction work will continue past June 30, 2014, KCM is asking that WSDOT provide additional funding estimated at $17,000,000 in order to continue services during the Tunnel, South Access, North Access, Viaduct Demolition Battery Street Tunnel Decommissioning, and Alaskan Way Surface Street Reconstruction projects.
