Tolling, light rail and the declining gas tax

Today, the Joint Transportation Committee is meeting in Seattle to discuss two reports (one on SR 520 tolling and one on I-90's center lanes designated for light rail), chat about the first week of light rail operations in Seattle, and look ahead to studying alternative road funding models in the wake of declining gas tax revenues.

For a critical and thoughtful look at the I-90 issue, check out what Ben Schiendelman at Seattle Transit Blog has to say.

UPDATE: Transportation Choices Coalition live-blogged the meeting and has a nice recap of the I-90 discussion.
