The New Seattle Transit Measure Could Make Night Buses Function

Seattle’s City Council approved a new Seattle Transit Measure in July that would double Metro bus funding from $50 million to $100 million over 10 years if voters approve a 0.3 percent sales tax this November. The measure includes a council amendment prioritizing overnight bus service expansion, which could benefit workers and late-night travelers across the region, though it remains unclear how much funding will specifically go to nighttime routes.
