Question: If it doesn't cost Seattle anything, why do you use the term "purchase order"?

Answer: There are issues like use of right of ways, routes, many details, all of which require a contract. The contract will state that the ITC is funding the construction of it. Likewise, the Seattle ITC Loop will NOT be privately owned, which requires a contract.

Question: What would Seattle need to do to accept the ITC offer?

Answer: Agreement on issues of mutual interest to both parties.

Question: If the mayor told you to start, when would you be ready to start construction?

Answer: The Mayor has no such authority without the council. If the City Council agreed, and discussions lead to a mutually acceptable contract, construction could start shortly thereafter.

Question: If the mayor asked you for additional specific information, would you send it to him?

Answer: Indeed.

Question: What about if a city councilman asked, or a representative of a neighborhood council for an area that your proposed system will pass through?

Answer: Likewise. Why wouldn't we?

Question: Or is it that you'll have more information available at some point, but you're not ready to share it yet?

Answer: No secrets from our end. Check out our website. It's all there. Whatever we don't know or have, we'll get and provide. Why wouldn't we?

Question: How can Seattle decide whether to accept your system without more specific information about it?

Answer: It starts with a dialogue. That Simple.
