Benson Hill Transit Needs Metro Survey 2020
Benson Hill Area Transit/Mobility Needs
Do you live, work, play, or visit Benson Hill? Please take our short survey!
King County Metro is working to connect Renton, Kent, Auburn and the surrounding areas with high-quality, frequent, and reliable bus service. As part of this effort, the project takes a holistic approach, integrating RapidRide, fixed-route transit, dial-a-ride transit (DART), and other flexible services.
For the Benson Hill area, Metro is interested in learning about the travel needs of the community. Metro would like to co-design with community members a flexible service* option that will connect people to fast, frequent, and reliable bus/rail services as well as provide mobility in and around the Benson Hill neighborhood.
*Flexible Service: Flexible alternatives could serve areas where traditional bus service doesn’t work well, offer transportation options for people with disabilities, or help our congested roadways work better by managing demand. We would be working with selected communities to evaluate service solutions ranging from expanded fixed-route transit to more flexible approaches such as innovative ridesharing options, on-demand van service, and partnerships with other transportation providers for specific travel needs.
This project is part of Metro's larger Renton-Kent-Auburn Area Mobility Plan.
Renton-Kent-Auburn Area Mobility Project Goals
- Deliver an upgraded, integrated mobility network with fixed-route and flexible services.
- Increase performance, reliability, and accessibility of the Metro transit system in south King County.
- Improve transit access for people of color, low-income, and limited-English proficiency populations.
- Deliver a new, frequent route between Renton, Kent, and Auburn that would be upgraded to the RapidRide I Line in 2023.
