Who We Are

>> Join the growing list (below) of your friends and neighbors who support CETA's mission. Sign up now!

We are individuals from around the Region who have joined to publicize the problems with Sound Transit's light rail proposal and to work for more cost-effective transportation solutions we could be putting in place now.

We are looking for improvements in our existing system of buses, vanpools, HOV lanes and ferries that provide more mobility benefits for the money than light rail.

Membership is open to anyone who wants to help develop and distribute accurate information. Any amount of involvement is welcome. We work in teams on an informal basis.

Members come from all political, geographic, socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. Some show up for meetings on their bikes, in carpools, by bus, on foot and by car. If we had more monorails, they would come that way too.

Many members are in the transportation/transit field. (See our Technical Advisory Team bios.) Some have engineering backgrounds, others are transportation users or simply want to make our traffic situation better.

Many members were once avid supporters of light rail.

We welcome dialogue with our elected officials and government agency staff.
