In 2001 he received the Public Policy Award from the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Steinbrueck is also a member of the Real Change Advisory Committee1. He received a "Schrammie", KOMO TV commentator Ken Schram 's bobblehead "badge of shame," for his advocacy of congestion pricing and highway tolling in the Seattle area. 2. Steinbrueck originally opposed the Seattle Monorail Project , but then changed his position after seeing the recently-completed Las Vegas Monorail perform test runs3. The Seattle project was publicly voted down in 2005 . Steinbrueck was also a foe of the March 2007 vote to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct , urging Seattleites to vote "no" on both the new viaduct and tunnel options. He also opposes the expansion plan for Route 520 through Portage Bay4. In 2007, Steinbrueck announced he would not seek a fourth term in the 2007 election5, opting instead to devote his time to the development of a "surface transit" option for Route 99 through Seattle.
