Opportunity to test Metro’s new trolley bus Jan. 7

Metro is currently reviewing a prototype of our new electric trolley buses that will begin operation next year. We’re looking for volunteers to join us for about an hour, take a look at the interior, and try out the new wheelchair securement. Your experience will help us evaluate the accessibility of the trolley and provide feedback to the manufacturer.

We have a limited number of spaces available at our testing events, which will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 7 in Seattle. The first session will begin at 11:00 a.m. The second session will begin at 12:00 p.m.

If you ride the bus, use a mobility device, and would like to be considered for participation, please call DeAnna Martin and leave a voice message at 206-477-3835 or email deanna.martin@kingcounty.gov by Friday, Jan. 2. Please provide your name, email/phone number, address, and type of mobility device. We’ll get back to you on Monday, Jan. 5, to confirm your participation and provide details about the event if you’re selected to participate.

Thanks and Happy Holidays from all of us at King County Metro!
