 Expanded Snoqualmie Valley Transit shuttle service starts
The Valley Shuttle, operated by Snoqualmie Valley Transportation and funded by King County Metro, has expanded operations. On March 4, the buses shuttling riders up and down SR 202 and 203 between North Bend and Duvall began arriving at stops more frequently in every city.
The expansion – the addition of a third bus to the schedule – is made possible by King County Metro, which contracts with SVT for public transportation in the Valley. With the added frequency of buses on the route, the time between buses will be cut from about 90 minutes to about 60 minutes.
SVT, a project of Mt. Si Senior Center, provides affordable and reliable public transportation throughout the valley with the Valley Shuttle, as well as circulator routes in the upper valley, and appointment-based, or demand-response, trips within the valley. The buses are accessible, have bike racks, and are all open to the public. Rides are either $1 or a $1 suggested donation, based on the type of service.
Find a list of all their services online or call 425-888-7001, Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The website includes the latest schedules, information and applications for working at SVT, and an option to sign up for rider alerts so that you receive information on route delays and local weather that may impact the buses.

Metro improves safety with boosted security presence
When Transit Security Officers board buses and visit transit centers, they offer help to riders and serve as a deterrent to unlawful or unsafe behavior.
Our Metro Ambassadors, in their easily recognizable blue jackets, assist customers in higher-ridership areas and during popular events such as concerts and sports. Many of our ambassadors served as Metro bus operators and have a deep knowledge of our transit network. Metro Ambassadors use a language interpretation service to communicate with riders in more than 140 languages.
If something isn’t right, please report it. Call or text 9-1-1 in an emergency. When it’s less urgent, call Metro customer service at 206-553-3000.
We also encourage you to keep yourself safe by not being distracted by your cellphone when traversing sidewalks and streets, not running after buses and other transit vehicles, and being extra cautious when it’s icy or during times of lower visibility. Many customers opt for bright or reflective clothing or use lights before sunrise and after sunset.
