King County Executive Zahilay, Metro and partners break ground on RapidRide I Line in South King County
 King County Executive Girmay Zahilay joined partners and community members to mark the start of construction on the RapidRide I Line, a major step forward for fast, reliable transit in South King County.
The $174 million, 17-mile project will transform the existing Route 160 corridor, which currently serves about 5,000 daily riders, into a high-capacity transit line. The corridor serves one of the region’s most diverse areas and includes many residents who rely on transit to access jobs, education, and essential services. When complete, riders will benefit from faster trips, more frequent service, and improved connections across the regional transportation network.
This project is supported by nearly $80 million in federal funding through the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Investment Grant Program, along with more than $19 million in additional federal grants, $27.5 million in state funding, and $47.5 million in King County Metro funds.
The RapidRide I Line will strengthen regional connections by linking riders to downtown Renton, the future Renton Transit Center, currently under construction, Kent Station, and Auburn Station, as well as the RapidRide F Line, future Sound Transit Stride S1 Line service, Sounder trains, and local bus routes. These connections will support access to destinations across the region.
