The Washington Association of Realtors is opposing Initiative 1125. I-1125 would prohibit the use of toll revenue to fund road and transit projects other than the project where the state collects the toll. Also, a part of I-1125 prohibits the use of road lanes for mass transit.

“Restricting the much-needed funding for transportation would not only harm the quality of life in our communities but would also slow our economic recovery,” said George McGilliard, 2011 vice president of government affairs for the Washington Realtors.
