Recognizing Our Veterans
Veterans Day honors those have who courageously served our country in the military. This holiday initially began as a commemoration of the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.?
In recognition of Veterans Day, we reached out to the members of the Helping Unite Metro?s Veterans Employee Resource Group to learn more about their story.?We asked about their experiences, including what they enjoyed about military life, the impact it had on them and how it has helped them succeed at Metro.
Please take the time to extend appreciation and gratitude to our veterans and read more on the Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ].

The Freedom to Move
Metro General Manager Terry White stands smiling at podium with arm outstretched addressing a crowd [ [link removed] ]
The following is an excerpt from King County Metro General Manager Terry White's concluding chapter, contributed to Paul Comfort?s recently released book, Conversations on Equity and Inclusion in Public Transportation.
"As transit leaders, we are entrusted with advancing a human right: the freedom to move. We connect people to community, education, entertainment, family, friends, jobs, medical care, museums, parks, shopping and more. We strive to make getting where you want to go accessible, affordable, reliable, safe, seamless and stress-free...
I?ve seen how mobility benefits communities, and I?ve lived it, too. In my more than 30 years in transit, I know we?re not simply delivering a more affordable fare, increased frequency of service, a new bus route, translated schedules or an updated wheelchair securement system. Instead, when we improve transit, we expand opportunity."
