King County Metro will continue to suspend peak weekday routes 16, 232, 237, 301, 304 and 320 through July 14 due to ongoing staff and bus availability. Some individual weekday bus trips also are canceled. Riders have alternatives available during these suspensions and we will provide regular updates to keep you informed about your transit service and options.
Metro has shifted buses among its seven bases and as a result has improved trip reliability across the county. Metro continues to train and hire bus operators and mechanics to deliver buses and transit services to your bus stop. Due to ongoing bus and staff availability challenges, summer service is likely to remain in the ongoing 95% range ? more than 10,600-weekday trips ? for several weeks while we repair and restore bus fleet for service.

Federal funds to increase Metro?s green fleet with purchase of new battery-electric buses

King County Metro is receiving $33.5 million in federal funding to support the purchase of zero-emission buses, helping us in our goal to be one of the first large transit agencies in North America with a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2035.
The U.S. Department of Transportation?s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced 130 awards totaling nearly $1.7 billion from President Biden?s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for transit projects in 46 states and territories.?Metro?s award is in the top 10 of the transit systems receiving these grants.
Metro will be using the funds to purchase 30 battery-electric buses. Our focus is on converting 27 bus routes serving low-income communities and expanding our apprenticeship program, to help promote transit careers in underserved communities.
Read more about?how this federal funding moves us closer toward our commitment to convert to an all-electric, zero-emission bus fleet on the Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ].
