Transit Alert – Metro bus stop 2180, southbound on Queen Anne Av N just south of W Harrison St, will share space with Microsoft employer shuttles as part of a pilot project

Starting Monday, April 24, Metro routes 1, 2, 8, 13 and 32 will share space at bus stop 2180, located southbound on Queen Anne Av N just south of W Harrison St, with Microsoft employer shuttle vehicles.

The City of Seattle, King County Metro Transit, Seattle Children’s Hospital and Microsoft are collaboratively conducting an innovative pilot project aimed at increasing ridership and safety, and making better use of public curb space.

The six-month long pilot project will allow – by permit – employer-provided shuttles to temporarily serve 11 public King County Metro bus stops to test the ability and value of multiple transit/shuttle services sharing existing transit stops. The pilot will result in no additional shuttles on the road than existing levels of service.

More information, including locations of the stops, is on the City of Seattle’s Employer Shared Transit Stops pilot website.

Public comment can be submitted by calling 206-256-5100 or sending email to sharedstoppilot@seattle.gov.

Thank you for riding and for using Metro’s services.
