Executive Braddock announces upgrades to Metro’s Access paratransit service, improving freedom and flexibility for riders with disabilities living in rural communities

King County Executive Shannon Braddock, in partnership with Metro, has announced easier and more convenient trip-planning options for Access paratransit customers, including the piloting of innovative services such as grocery delivery and same-day reservations. These efforts will especially benefit riders with disabilities and seniors in rural and less densely populated areas, where transportation options can be limited.

Recognizing the service of Metro veterans

On Monday, November 10, we held a ceremonial flag raising at one of our facilities to honor the courage and dedication of veterans and their families.

In addition to this ceremony, we’re also continuing our annual tradition of highlighting Metro colleagues who have served in the military. This year, I’m pleased to share the stories of four veterans —Nicholas Warren, Ruy Diaz, Scott Peterson and William Herbert—whose experiences remind us of the many ways veterans continue to lead, serve and inspire across our organization.
