Supervisor Spotlight: Highlighting those behind the scenes who keep us moving
 It takes a lot of people to keep a transit system running smoothly across 150 routes and over 300,000 boardings a day.
Bus drivers are the most visible part of any transit system, but there are people behind the scenes who are just as vital in the day-to-day operation of King County Metro.
Their responsibilities include training operators, planning the routes that run throughout the region, and literally being the “traffic controllers” who keep track of the buses on their daily runs.
We’d like to introduce you to the staff that help keep the wheels on the bus going “round and round” every day.
This Supervisor Spotlight features Merch DeGrasse and George Shields.

Survey shows transit ridership climbing as more people commute to downtown Seattle
 A new survey from Commute Seattle reveals that while telework remains popular, transit travel and drive-alone trips are on the rise as more people return to the office after years of social and personal change.
The findings, collected in October 2024, include a new question on satisfaction, revealing that people who bike and walk report the highest satisfaction with their commute. People who drive alone to get to work report the lowest satisfaction.

Drug-related incidents on or near King County Mero decrease by more than one-third
Drug incident reports on or near King County Metro decreased by more than one-third from 2023 to 2024. The positive trend coincides with the transit agency reinforcing expectations of riders, and encouraging employees and riders to report incidents.
In 2023, there were 1,578 drug-related incidents reported on or near Metro (e.g., buses, bus stops, transit centers, etc.). That represented roughly 1 incident per 49,000 boardings.
In 2024, there were 1,022 drug-related incidents reported, which represented about 1 incident per 80,000 boardings.
