No Hwy 2 Trestle Toll

The Issue

We want a public promise not to toll the trestle on U.S. Hwy 2 between Everett, WA and Lake Stevens, WA and the Hwy 2/ 20th St/ WA-204 interchange revision. 

It is a key connection between the main interstate in Washington (I-5) with the fastest growing area in the state - Marysville/ Lake Stevens. Working families are moving here in droves, and by tolling the only direct connection a whole community will be held hostage. This is in nobody's best interest.

The only alternative routes on surface streets are already overburdened and simply could not support the diverted traffic of those who cannot afford the toll. Tolling US Hwy 2 Trestle not only holds hundreds of thousands of families captive as it is the most direct route to the nearest emergency center and major hospital. Businesses will suffer, employment will decrease, and the cities, county, and ultimately the state will pay the price. 

Please stand united with me in asking that this vital transportation corridor not be tolled as it would create an undue burden on both the community members and local businesses. By signing below we are asking the transportation committees of the WA State House & Senate to commit to keeping this crucial roadway accessible to all.
