Background Summary:

King County Metro (Metro) is planning to implement new RapidRide service, the I Line, serving Renton, Kent and Auburn in 2023, which will provide fast, frequent, and reliable service. In order to prepare for the I Line implementation, respond to changing mobility needs, and improve mobility and access for disadvantaged populations, Metro is developing an area mobility plan in south King County. 

 

Metro is conducting a public outreach campaign, in addition to coordinating with Auburn technical staff, to identify transit service needs and the best route for the RapidRide I Line by Fall 2019.

 

The project will deliver an updated mobility network to be implemented in September 2020, including a fixed-route that will be improved to become the RapidRide I Line in September 2023.
