About SVMC

Access to transportation is crucial, particularly in rural areas where it can mean the difference between isolation and being an active member of the community. Mobility enables people to visit their doctor, attend school, maintain employment, and meet with family and friends. In 2017, the Snoqualmie Valley Mobility Coalition (SVMC) was established through a collaboration of cities in the Valley, healthcare providers, human services organizations, government agencies, non-profits, and riders. The Coalition’s primary objective was to enhance the regional transportation network within the Snoqualmie Valley by providing safe, reliable, affordable, and accessible transportation options for all.

Mission

The Snoqualmie Valley Mobility Coalition believes affordable, accessible, and collaborative transportation is a necessity for life and dedicated to connecting communities to improve transportation for all of Snoqualmie Valley.

Goals

  • Advocate for changes to develop more effective transportation networks.
  • Educate the community about current travel options.
  • Assess community needs.
  • Create new travel tools to bridge current transportation gaps and work towards building future opportunities.

Projects and Resources

Coordinated Awareness Project
In 2021, the Snoqualmie Valley Mobility Coalition collaborated with various cities, towns, and organizations in the Snoqualmie Valley to launch the Coordinated Awareness campaign. The initiative aimed to inform residents, employees, and visitors about the different transportation options available in the valley. While public transportation is available, it may not be easily recognizable due to smaller vehicles, such as shuttles, vans, and personal cars. Additionally, there is a possibility of a misconception this transportation is only meant for riders with specific needs. To address these issues, the project created localized content for the six jurisdictions within the coalition. The information was disseminated through informational flyers added to utility bill mailings, flyers posted at community gathering centers, and social media posts designed for use on various platforms.

2021 City Resolutions 
In the autumn of 2021, the SVMC Task Force created a resolution that recommends valley cities prioritize transportation and mobility requirements, needs, and concerns. It is crucial for the Snoqualmie Valley to have clear and unified goals regarding transportation and mobility needs as policies and codes are updated and drafted. Every day, every person uses a mode of mobility, whether it is walking, driving, cycling, rolling, or using transportation services. Mobility is an integral part of our daily lives and is essential for health, success, and a fulfilling life. The resolution was designed to ensure that transportation and mobility needs are considered in the decision-making, planning, and execution of city work and projects. North Bend, Carnation, and Duvall all accepted the resolution.
