為應對 COVID-19 危機帶來的財務影響, 西雅圖交通部 (SDOT) 將立即採取行動暫停多個建設

由於 2019 新型冠狀病毒病 (COVID-19) 危機及其造成的財務影響,整個西雅圖市面臨巨大的預算短缺。 西雅圖交通部 (SDOT) 也不例外,預計 2020 年收入將損失近 4,600 萬美元。 因此,我們須採取即時而周全的行動,除了暫停多個建設,SDOT 需確保在新面臨的財政狀況和各項時間表之下,我們仍可逐步實現願景,令西雅圖成為更宜居、更安全、更具包容性的城市。 COVID-19 現已造成有重大歷史意義的負面影響,不但涉及到本市、整個美國,世界各地都無法倖免,而且未來數年將繼續產生連鎖效應。 我們正設法應對並釐清 COVID-19 全球大流行對西雅圖市及 SDOT 之影響. 本市具有強大的復原重建能力,日後的發展必定更勝以前,但目前為止,本市財政收入大幅下降,為 2020 年及其後制定的預算受到顯著影響,而邁向共同復甦的道路上,我們的資金合作夥伴將會要求我們作出艱難的折中方案。 自從三月份全球大流行爆發以來,當務之急須轉移資源以便應對公共衛生突發事件。 因此,我們明白短期內將會有許多已作規畫的成就和支出計畫無法付諸實踐。 在德肯 (Durkan) 市長領導之下,SDOT 力求確保本市交通運輸系統能夠滿足有色人種社區以及所有收入階層、不同行動能力、各年齡階段人士的需求。 我們旨在與各社群合作,建立體現種族平等和社會正義的交通運輸系統。 前路漫漫,尚有改善空間。 削減預算將會影響到全體西雅圖居民,但我們承諾確保該措施不會對黑人和有色人種群體帶來不成比例的影響. 儘管目前仍有許多未知數和問題,但我們承諾:保持資訊透明公開,積極投入做好應對工作,並及時向大家告知情況進展。 在此暫停期間,我們將會更深入瞭解自身財政限制,辨別即時可節省的成本以解決預算短缺,並且為 2021 年及其後的發展建立周全且優先考慮公正的流程,以明確哪些建設將在何時、以何種方式繼續進展。 然而,若有部分建設對未來數年的本市新發展不再有意義,則在暫停之後可能不會重啟該部分建設。 我們正需暫緩一定數量的建設進展,以解決 2020 年 SDOT 財政收入不足的問題。 根據較樂觀的預測,2020 年我們的財政收入將損失 4,600 萬美元。 由於 SDOT 和本市的財務狀況仍有未知數,現時的暫停清單或未能完全達到該目標,但在未來幾個月內,我們將制定標準,作為決定無限期暫停或繼續進行哪些建設時的決策指引。… [ Keep reading ]
