Additionally, Washington Bikes has endorsed first time candidates who share our vision for lowering the barriers to bicycling for all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Why do we make endorsements? Washington Bikes works to secure funding for bicycle infrastructure and policies that increase access and safety. To make that happen, it matters who Washington\u2019s elected leaders are.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to thank all of the candidates, endorsed or otherwise, for taking the time to participate in Washington Bikes\u2019 endorsement process.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Bikes is pleased to announce endorsements for two ballot measures that will appear on November ballots: the <a href=\"https:\/\/bainbridgesafemobilitylevy.participate.online\">SAFE Mobility Levy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/yeson1631.org\/\">I-1631<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>SAFE Mobility Levy<\/strong> on Bainbridge Island is a property tax levy that will raise city revenues for active transportation and recreation projects by about $2.2 million a year for seven years. If passed, the measure will yield investments in infrastructure improvements for people who bike and walk, including shoulder widening, bike lanes and trail projects with an emphasis on safe routes to school.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I-1631<\/strong>, the statewide clean air initiative will impose a $15 fee on each metric ton of carbon dioxide beginning in 2020 and increase $2 annually until the state achieves its emissions goals. The funds raised will invest in programs, activities and projects aimed at improving clean air, clean energy, healthy forests and healthy communities. If passed, I-1631 will invest in reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing public transportation, non-motorized transportation and affordable transit-oriented housing. These efforts align with Washington Bikes\u2019 goals around healthy communities, mode shift and thriving local economies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Washington Bikes endorsement speaks to thousands of engaged Washingtonians statewide who care about a range of issues. From wanting more connected trails, to safer neighborhood streets, to more opportunities for physical activity, Washingtonians are looking for leaders and policies that will advance these priorities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16690 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Endorsements-603x700.png\" alt=\"2018 General Endorsements\" width=\"603\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Endorsements-603x700.png 603w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Endorsements-344x400.png 344w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Endorsements-768x892.png 768w, https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Endorsements.png 1126w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>*<a href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Election-Endorsements-Sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/2018-General-Election-Endorsements-Sheet.pdf\">Download a PDF version<\/a> of the endorsements list.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>With less than six weeks until Election Day, we are in the final stretch!
