Description
Frequent transit refers to transit services that run at least every 15 minutes in both directions throughout the day and evening, every day of the week, increasing reliability for riders. RapidRide is Metro’s highest level of investment in frequent transit that provides convenience, innovation and reliability. King County will continue to grow access to RapidRide and other frequent transit service. By 2030, Metro will launch two new RapidRide lines (I and J) and continue work to plan two additional RapidRide lines (R and K). The quality of transit service—primarily the three main quality of service factors of frequency, proximity, and reliability of service—is critical to growing ridership and supporting land use change necessary to reducing vehicle miles traveled and the associated GHG emissions. Increasing the number of frequent routes in Metro’s system addresses all three of the service quality factors.
