| This measure was not put on an election ballot |
A Washington Energy Transportation Safety Initiative was not on the November 4, 2014 ballot in Washington as an Initiative to the People. Five versions of such an initiative were proposed by Stephan Robinson. All of the versions sought to increase the regulation for transporting crude oil and coal within Washington. The intent was to require the state, local governments and agencies to assess potential impacts to safety and mitigate any safety risks before approving a major energy transportation facility.[1]
Support
Stephan Robinson was the primary supporter of all five versions of this initiative.[1]
Path to the ballot
All five versions of the initiative were filed on May 14, 2014. As of June 10, 2014, none of them had been assigned initiative numbers, ballot titles or ballot measure summaries. Supporters were required to collect at least 246,372 valid signatures by July 3, 2014 in order to land the initiative on the ballot. No signatures were submitted by the prescribed deadline.[1]
