Metro’s newly adopted policies center equity and sustainability
The King County Council’s historic passage of Metro’s policy updates is outstanding news for everyone in our region and delivers a bright vision of what is ahead. Hard work, partnership, and patience made this moment possible. My great thanks goes to the community leaders, elected officials, and other advocates—as well as my colleagues—for getting us to this exciting day.
The Metro Connects long-range plan, the Service Guidelines, and the 10-year Strategic Plan for Public Transportation focus our efforts at a critical time. The Puget Sound region is gradually reemerging from a pandemic and a recession, both of which have had especially severe impacts on Black, Indigenous, and people of Color (BIPOC) communities and residents with lower incomes. We’re also increasingly breathing, feeling, and seeing the dangerous impacts of climate change. These, too, are felt first and hardest by our neighbors with fewer resources.
