RapidRide I Line construction updates
 As downtown Renton grows and evolves, King County Metro is seeking public feedback on proposed changes to a dozen bus routes and their bus stops in the Renton area.
The Renton Area Mobility Project supports the City of Renton’s ongoing changes to its downtown and will focus on connecting Metro service to the future Renton Transit Center, located near the South Renton Park-and-Ride.
Opening in 2028, the new transit center will connect Metro bus routes and Metro Flex services with the future RapidRide I Line and Sound Transit’s Stride S1 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, creating a regional transit hub with connections between Burien, Renton, Bellevue and beyond.
Take our survey by November 30 to tell us what you think about the proposed service changes. Metro will use public input to help shape decisions about the proposed network that we will share with the community in mid-2027, when we’ll ask for one more round of input.
Moving Stories: Share your story
Calling all people and communities who take RapidRide! WE want to hear YOUR stories!
King County Metro and 4Culture are working in partnership to produce Moving Stories, a public art initiative that brings together six regional artists to create twelve original short-form graphic novels inspired by the people, places, and experiences that make Metro’s RapidRide network unique.
Share your story online by October 31, or leave us a voice message at 425-952-8132.
