Proposed Solution Concepts
Expand Via to Transit Community Van Network
- Current Via to Transit in
Tukwila is limited
- Trips to/from Tukwila
International Blvd Station
- Weekdays from 6-9AM &
- Expand the span and/or
service area of the existing Via to Transit service
- Volunteer-driven group trips
- Facilitated by a Community
Transportation Coordinator
- Two potential models:
- Community Van – Existing
Metro program for county- wide group trips
- Neighbor-to-Neighbor –
Focused on a linguistic/ cultural community for local trips with a complete fare subsidy
- Requires enabling
legislation from the City
- f Tukwila
- Two potential Metro roles
in partnership w/ providers
- Rider cost subsidy to
trips to transit
- Bike/Scooter
rebalancing at transit facilities
