Seattle and I-985: A new subsidy

Clark Williams-Derry pointed this out at the think tank Sightline Institute: "First off, 100 percent of the HOV lanes and ramps that I-985 would affect are in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. That's about $224 million spent on carpool management changes right there. Second, 90 percent of the severe traffic congestion in the state is in the central Puget Sound, and over 60 percent is in King County alone."
