KEY FEATURES OF PROPOSED ACTION • These 27 1994 Orion coaches have exceeded their useful life of twelve years and have over 500,000 miles each. • These coaches have been replaced by the acquisition of seven new 45-foot MCI coaches and twenty 40-foot Gillig coaches. The coaches have been delivered and are now in service on ST Express routes operated by Pierce Transit. • Pierce Transit will deliver the Orion coaches to an auctioneer for sale; the estimated sale price is $1,000 per bus. The total for 27 surplus buses is estimated to be approximately $27,000. The limited availability of CNG fueling sites negatively affects the resale value of these vehicles. • Revenue from the sale of the vehicles will be returned to the general fund apportioned to the Pierce and South King County subareas. • Sound Transit Administrative Policy #14 allows for the surplus of assets in accordance with RCW 81.112.080.

Service Network Service Terms Glossary Alternative services: Transportation services tailored to meet specific community needs. Metro plans and provides these services with partner support throughout King County. Often, the served community lacks the infrastructure, density or land rights to support traditional, fixed-route bus service. Metro’s alternative services include: VanPool, VanShare, Community Access Transportation (CAT), Dial-a-Ride Transit (DART), Community Shuttles, Community Hub and Flexible Rideshare. (See definitions of these services below.) Bus Bulb: Bus bulbs are curb extensions that align the bus stop with the parking lane, allowing buses to stop and board passengers without ever leaving the travel lane. Bus bulbs help buses move faster and more reliably by decreasing the amount of time lost when merging in and out of traffic. Carpool: Commuters travelling similar routes can connect on the Metro Rideshare website and share rides in personal vehicles. Community Access Transportation (CAT): A program that complements paratransit (ACCESS) service by filling service gaps in partnership with nonprofit agencies, such as those serving seniors or people with disabilities. Custom Bus: A program that serves King County commuters and students who travel to locations not well served by fixed-route transit.
