This month’s Climate & Energy Forum will address two climate-related issues on our November ballot: State Initiative 1631 and the island’s proposed SAFE Mobility Levy.
State Initiative 1631 proposes the enactment of a carbon emissions fee of $15 per metric ton of carbon beginning in January 2020 to fund various environmental projects.
The Bainbridge Island Safe Access for Everyone (SAFE) Mobility Levy is a seven-year, $15 million tax levy designed to fund shoulder upgrades on roadways, trails with a focus on safe routes to schools, and various sidewalk and other improvements to provide more safety and better access for those walking and biking on the island.
