King County Launches new Rider Dashboard
The Dash is an interactive tool that shares current information on four frequently asked-about topics – ridership impact, rider mask use, buses at capacity, and missed stops. Housed in Metro’s Accountability Center, The Dash is the latest Metro tool to provide richer and more up-to-date information regarding transit service.
The Dash is not designed to be used as a real-time tool. Rather, it delivers increased accountability, timeliness, and transparency on four of the metrics most often asked about by passengers, partners, and stakeholders. The Dash joins a suite of products that customers already rely on such as Metro’s online Trip Planner, real-time departure predictions using Text for Departures, and a host of real-time notifications by route via text, app, email subscriptions, and social media.
