Metro honors fallen operator Mark McLaughlin

Mr. McLaughlin, 44,?was killed on Nov. 27, 1998, while driving Route 359. He left behind two teenage sons.

*On Friday, Nov.?24, Metro will honor Mr. McLaughlin, along with all our other operators who do so much for our community, by briefly pausing bus service at 4 p.m. for a moment of reflection and remembrance.*

Hundreds of Metro?and Sound Transit buses will be in service at that time, and the majority will pull over and stop. Operators participating in the moment of remembrance will stop only where and when it?s safe to do so. Operators will not pause service if they are traveling on highways or on roadways where there?s no safe place to pull over.

Design finalized for the Route 40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor, construction to begin in 2024

With input from the community, the final design on the?Route 40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor project [ [link removed] ]?has been completed and construction is set to begin in 2024.

Metro Route 40?continues to be an important route for our neighbors and we?ve heard their desire for neighborhood improvements for people who roll, walk, bike, and ride the bus.

This collaborative project?between Metro and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will create a safer and more reliable bus route and Seattle?s first-ever freight- and bus-only lane. Since early 2020, we?ve engaged community members and bus riders to gather feedback on the Route 40 project design as it evolved.
