King County Metro Transit: Expanding Its Role from Service Provider to Mobility Manager
Advancing Mobility Management King County Metro Transit: expanding its role from service provider to mobility manager Agency: King County Metro Location: Seattle, WA Service Area: King County, WA Modes: Bus, Rideshare, Vanpools, Paratransit services, Sound Transit’s regional Express bus service, Link light rail in King County, Seattle Streetcar, Water Taxi Community Context: King County Transit Advisory Commission, including residents, businesses, and other stakeholders appointed by the King County Executive and approved by the King County Council (formed by nine members representing the districts). Key Contacts: Name: Jean Paul Velez Position: Innovative Mobility Program Manager, King County Metro Email: [email protected] Phone: 206-477-7694 OVERVIEW King County Metro provides a wide range of transportation options for the King County. It operates the region’s largest bus network, vanpools, paratransit services, and several programs to promote ridesharing. It also operates Sound Transit’s regional Express bus service and Link light rail in King County, along with the Seattle Streetcar. Metro has a long history of innovations that expand the traditional transit services, from launching a vanpool program in the 1970s, to incubating car-sharing and bike-sharing programs in the 2000s. The more programmatic efforts to engage with the new mobility landscape began in 2016, with the agency moving from its role of service provider towards a broader role where it proactively leverages services to deliver better mobility for the region. The strategic research initiatives and service pilots considered in the Innovative Mobility Program are guided by the long-term plan Metro Connects, which reflects the King County Metro Transit’s vision for bringing people more services, more choices and one easy-to-use system over the next 25 years (2040).
