Dear reader:
All Washingtonians are better off when we invest in safe and convenient bicycle infrastructure. Bicycling improves local economies, provides people with an affordable way to get where they need to go, and creates more jobs per dollar spent than any other type of transportation investment. It builds stronger communities, decreases congestion and fosters improved public health (while cutting health care exenditures for households, businesses and government). It reduces our oil dependence and provides us with a fun, liberating and empowering way to get around. Investments in bicycle infrastructure provide all of these benefits while costing a fraction of what it takes to widen streets or build new highways. Even if you never ride a bicycle in your entire life, you benefit when we invest in bicycle infrastructure. Thats why Cascade Bicycle Club works hard to make it easier and safer for everyone to bicycle, whether youre riding to work, school, the store, Vancouver, Portland, or just for the fun of it. If we want a future where everyone has the freedom to safely ride their bicycle, we need to hold our lawmakers accountable for building this future. In particular, the decisions state legislators make in Olympia help determine if its convenient and safe for us to ride and its our responsibility to hold them accountable for their decisions. This scorecard tells the story of how well our state legislators advanced Cascade Bicycle Clubs mission of creating a better community through bicycling during the 2012 legislative sessions. It provides a quantitative account of how every legislator voted on issues that support making it easier and safer to ride, while providing a qualitative look at the real story behind the scenes. But this scorecard is about more than looking back to see how we did its about looking forward to the next biennium to determine how we can work together in the legislature to create a better community through bicycling Thank you for joining us for the ride,

Cascade Bicycle Clubs 2012 Legislative Priorities

Cascade Bicycle Club envisions a community that bicycles inclusive, diverse and accepting, where people of all ages and backgrounds bicycle to work, to get around, for fun and for health. We work to make bicycling convenient and safe, to create world-class bicycle infrastructure and to ensure that bicycling is recognized and appreciated as an important contributor to a healthy and fun life that brings people and neighborhoods together in a prosperous and livable community. To help achieve this vision, Cascade Bicycle Clubs 2012 legislative agenda aimed to create a better community through bicycling by making neighborhood streets safer, improving public health, cutting costly red tape, saving our cities money, and increasing funding for bicycle infrastructure and transit service. Our 2012 legislative priorities included:
SHB 1217 AutHorIzInG LocAL AutHorItIES to EStABLISH MAxIMuM SPEEd LIMItS on cErtAIn non-ArtErIAL HIGHWAYS (A.K.A nEIGHBorHood SAFE SPEEdS BILL)

SHB 1217, the Neighborhood Safe Speeds bill, would have made safer streets and neighborhoods by empowering cities and towns with the freedom to set speed limits to 20 miles per hour on nonarterial streets without a costly engineering and traffic study. Passed the House. An amended version passed the Senate Transportation committee. Did not come up for a vote in the Senate.
SHB 1700 ModIFYInG tHE rEquIrEMEntS rELAtEd to dESIGnInG VArIouS trAnSPortAtIon ProjEctS (A.K.A SAFE And FLExIBLE dESIGn GuIdELInES)

SHB 1700 will provide cities and counties the flexibility to use updated guidelines for designing bicycle and pedestrian projects, increasing safety and reducing project costs. Passed the House and Senate and was signed into law by the Governor.

legIslatIve prIorItIes 2

ESHB 2190 MAKInG 2011-2013 SuPPLEMEntAL trAnSPortAtIon APProPrIAtIonS

The supplemental transportation budget provided significant new funding for both Washingtons Safe Routes to School and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety program, serving to increase the amount of state-funded bicycle infrastructure that will get built over the coming years. Passed the House and Senate and was signed into law by the Governor.
HB 2370 IncLudInG HEALtH In tHE StAtE trAnSPortAtIon SYStEM PoLIcY GoALS

HB 2370 would have added health to Washingtons six transportation goals to integrate health implications when designing, building, and maintaining our transportation system. This has the potential to save lives, improve health and safety, and reduce billions of dollars in preventable

health care costs by shifting our investments toward more active ways of getting around, like bicycling, walking and transit. Passed the House. Did not come up for a vote in the Senate Transportation committee.
EHB 2660 AddrESSInG trAnSPortAtIon rEVEnuE

EHB 2660 increased a number of transportation-related fees to generate revenue for transportation improvements, including for bicycle and pedestrian safety projects. It also established the Public Transportation Grant Program Account to provide funding to transit authorities in the state for operations. Passed the House and Senate and was signed into law by the Governor.
HB 2751 concErnInG LocAL trAnSPortAtIon rEVEnuE

HB 2751 would have provided select counties and transit agencies with a new, stable, voterapproved, progressive funding source that would have helped prevent transit agencies from making significant additional cuts in service. Unless transit agencies secure new revenue, people will lose the freedom to use their bikes to get where they need to go on transit and hundreds of thousands of people will lose their ability to get to work, school, the doctor, church and the store. Passed out of the House Transportation committee, but the House did not bring it up for a vote as ESSB 6582 became the primary vehicle for addressing local transportation revenue.
ESSB 6455 AddrESSInG trAnSPortAtIon rEVEnuE

ESSB 6455 increased a number of transportation-related fees to generate revenue for transportation improvements, including for bicycle and pedestrian safety projects. Passed the Senate and was amended in the House. The Senate refused to concur with the House amendments. The House passed the bill agreed to in Conference, but the Senate did not bring it up for a vote as EHB 2660 (which passed the House and Senate and was signed into law by the Governor) became the primary vehicle for addressing transportation revenue.
ESSB 6582 concErnInG LocAL trAnSPortAtIon rEVEnuE oPtIonS

ESSB 6582 would have provided select counties and transit agencies with a new, stable, voterapproved, progressive funding source that would have helped prevent transit agencies from making significant additional cuts in service. Unless transit agencies secure new revenue, people will lose the freedom to use their bikes to get where they need to go on transit and hundreds of thousands of people will lose their ability to get to work, school, the doctor, church and the store. Passed the Senate and was amended in the House. The Senate refused to concur with the House amendments. The House and Senate Conferees signed off on a bill, but it did not come up for a vote in either chamber.
SB 6074 concErnInG tHE cAPItAL BudGEt

legIslatIve prIorItIes

The capital budget included significant funding for a new Main Street Improvement grant program that will help cities and towns across Washington fund bicycle and pedestrian projects to help revitalize their downtown business districts.

House Honorable Mentions

These Representatives demonstrated their commitment to creating a better community through bicycling in an especially critical or unique way on a specific bill or a number of issues.

FrAnK cHoPP (43rd SEAttLE) ScorE 100%

Speaker Chopp paved the way for SHB 1217, SHB 1700 and HB 2370 to pass out of the House while providing a consistent vote on the issues important to Cascade Bicycle Club.

Pedersen played an important role in helping to pass SB 5326, concerning negligent driving resulting in substantial bodily harm, great bodily harm, or death of a vulnerable user of a public way (a.k.a the Vulnerable Users bill) in 2011. Hes dedicated to continuing his work to make our streets safer for all, regardless of how one gets around.

House Training Wheels

While these Representatives did not always vote in support of bicycling, they took steps in the right direction and were hopeful that we can work with them to increase their support for bicycling.

MIKE ArMStronG (12tH cHELAn countY, douGLAS countY, oKAnAGAn countY) ScorE 44%
As the ranking minority member on the Transportation committee Rep. Armstrong, while goodnatured in his approach, has regularly acted as a foil to policies that would move bicycling into the mainstream of transportation policy and planning. He took a positive step in signing onto a letter supporting the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program and clarifying the Main Street proviso in the Complete Streets Grant Program. We hope to work with Rep. Armstrong on even more positive steps in the future.

Ann rIVErS (18tH cLArK countY, coWLItz countY) ScorE 33%

Despite being a bicycle rider herself, Rep. Rivers has done little to help make it safe and convenient for others to ride and has expressed interest in policies that serve to discourage bicycling. Even with her disappointing record, were still hopeful that Rep. Rivers will recognize the many benefits of bicycling and begin working to provide more Washingtonians with the opportunity to ride.

House traInIng WHeels House BroKen cHaIns

HAnS zEIGEr (25tH FIFE, MILton, PuYALLuP) ScorE 44%

Rep. Zeiger has shown strong support for recreational trails and other bicycle improvements in his district. He voted to move HB 2370, including health in the state transportation system policy goals, out of committee, though he ultimately voted against it on the House floor. We look forward to continuing a promising dialogue with Rep. Zeiger regarding how we can work together to create a better community through bicycling.

House Broken Chains

Unlike our list of champions, these Representatives consistently demonstrated opposition to creating a better community through bicycling through their votes and actions. Despite their disappointing records, were holding out hope that we can work with them to start riding in the right direction.

jASon oVErStrEEt (42nd WHAtcoM countY) ScorE 11%

Rep. Overstreet has unfailingly voted against providing people with the freedom and independence to safely ride their bicycle. Were disappointed that Rep. Overstreet has yet to recognize that bicycling provides people with self-reliance, improves local economies and reduces health care costs all virtues he claims to support.

jAY rodnE (5tH ISSAquAH, nortH BEnd, SnoquALMIE) ScorE 11%

Rep. Rodne does not appear to understand the benefits bicycling and smart land use planning bring to communities. Its unacceptable for a legislator representing a district home to tens of thousands of people who enjoy riding their bicycle to consistently vote against the values and interests of his constituents.

Scott WHItE (46tH KEnMorE, LAKE ForESt PArK, nortHEASt SEAttLE) junE 8, 1970 octoBEr 21, 2011 Sen. Scott White was more than a champion for creating a better community through bicycling. He was a friend, a mentor, a smart and effective legislator, a loving father and husband, and a wonderful human being. We are grateful for having had the opportunity to get to know and work with Scott. He will always be in our hearts.

cHrIStInE roLFES (23rd KItSAP countY) ScorE 100%

Sen. Rolfes was new to the Senate and its Transportation committee in the 2012 legislative session, filling the vacancy left by Sen. Phil Rockefellers resignation.

dAn SWEcKEr (20tH LEWIS countY, tHurSton countY) ScorE 100%

Sen. Swecker, a member of the Transportation committee, deserves recognition for being the only member of his caucus with a perfect voting record in support of bicycling.

Senate Training Wheels

While these Senators did not always vote in support of bicycling, they took steps in the right direction and were hopeful that we can work with them to increase their support for bicycling.

StEVE LItzoW (41St BELLEVuE, MErcEr ISLAnd, nEWcAStLE) ScorE 86%

In his first term in the legislature, Sen. Litzow proved accessible and willing to take the easy votes in support of bicycling. We look forward to continuing the conversation with Sen.

Senate Broken Chains

Unlike our list of champions, these Senators consistently demonstrated opposition to creating a better community through bicycling through their votes and actions. Despite their disappointing records, were holding out hope that we can work with them to start riding in the right direction.

AndY HILL (45tH KIrKLAnd, SAMMAMISH, WoodInVILLE) ScorE 29%

Even though Sen. Hill represents several communities with highly developed bicycle networks, he frequently voted against pro-bicycling legislation and funding. His votes are even more disappointing when compared to those of his colleagues Sen. Litzow and Sen. Fain, with whom he normally aligns. We hope to work with Sen. Hill to bring his votes in line with the values and interests of his district.

MArY MArGArEt HAuGEn (10tH ISLAnd countY, LA connEr, StAnWood) ScorE 100%
Dont let Sen. Haugens voting record deceive you her actions demonstrate that she does not support bicycling. Through the years, Sen. Haugen has expressed open hostility toward and a complete disinterest in a dialogue on bicycling. As chair of the Senate Transportation committee, Sen. Haugen actively works to block pro-bicycling legislation and funding. She worked to sabotage the passage of SHB 1217, the Neighborhood Safe Speeds bill, and HB 2370, including health in the state transportation system policy goals, while standing as the single largest roadblock to securing local transportation funding options. In an unprecedented move, Sen. Haugen agreed to negotiated language and signed the conference report on ESSB 6582, concerning local transportation revenue options, and then pulled her support before the bill could come up for a vote on the Senate floor, breaking the deal and killing the bill. Its long past time for new leadership at the helm of the transportation committee.

tIM SHELdon (35tH KItSAP, MASon And tHurSton countIES) ScorE 29%
While both of Sen. Sheldons seatmates from the 35th legislative district had strong voting records in support of bicycling, Sen. Sheldon had the worst voting record in his caucus, by a mile. Sen. Sheldon was the only member of the Transportation committee who did not vote to move SHB 1217, the Neighborhood Safe Speeds bill, out of committee and was the only member of his party to vote against SHB 1700, Safe and Flexible Design Guidelines, on the Senate floor. His record on bicycling appears dramatically out of step with the values of his district and we hope to work with Sen. Sheldon to improve his support for bicycling.
