As you probably know by now, Metro Transit may cut 600,000 annual service hours if no new funding can be secured. This would mean the complete elimination of 65 routes, and reduction in service to another 86 routes.
This crisis would lead to longer waits, farther walks, less access to vital services and resources, more overcrowding, and more traffic congestion!
As riders, we deserve better! We’ve already seen our fares nearly doubled in the past five years. We need to let the King County Council that we won’t take any more! Please attend the Council’s Transportation Committee public hearing on the proposed transit cuts.
