Metro Studying Transit Improvements on Route 106
King County Metro, in collaboration with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), King County Road Services, and the City of Renton, is studying transit improvements for Route 106 to reduce bus travel times, improve reliability, and increase overall customer experience. Route 106 serves 5,000 riders each weekday and operates every 10-15 minutes most of the day. This route connects the International District, Mt. Baker, Rainier Valley, Skyway, and downtown Renton neighborhoods where many residents rely on transit for work, school, and essential services.
The Route 106 seeks to identify investments that will:
- Reduce bus travel times by 10-15% during busy commute times
- Improve service to allow buses to have more reliable trips through the corridor
- Improve connections to other services in the area
- Benefit existing transit riders and encourage additional ridership
This fall, from September 8 through October 3, Metro will engage with riders, businesses, and community members to receive feedback that will help inform the proposed concept design for Route 106 improvements. Learn more about these potential improvements on the Metro Matters blog.
Metro wants to learn:
- How you are currently using Route 106
- What concerns you have about Route 106
- What changes would you most like to see for Route 106
During this engagement period, Metro will work with key community voices through community engagement at bus stops to engage with riders, business outreach, and tabling at community-based organizations.
Metro is committed to involving the community in this study to ensure that their needs and vision help inform future design decisions.
We want to hear from you!
Here are a few ways you can share your feedback with us:
- Join us at one of our upcoming tabling sessions where you can engage with our team and ask questions:
- Renton Library – Resource Fair: Thursday, September 18, 2025, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
- Skyway Library – Drop-in Tech Help: Monday, September 22, 2025, 12:30–3:00 p.m.
-
Take our questionnaire by October 3, 2025

 On September 14, 2024, with music in the air and neighbors gathered in celebration, the RapidRide G Line rolled onto the scene as Metro’s eighth RapidRide line — right in the heart of the community it was built to serve.
Now, one year later, the G Line isn’t just a way to get to work or appointments — it’s become a go-to connection for getting around the city. From Capitol Hill to the Central District to Madison Valley, riders have watched the G Line grow into a fast, reliable and essential piece of Seattle’s transportation puzzle.
