Local Services Community Vans

Community Van is a rideshare program brought to you by King County Metro Transit. It provides community residents with a customized option for getting around when bus service can’t meet their needs.

 

The program offers pre-scheduled trips on vans that seat 6, 7, or 12 passengers. The trips can be one-time or recurring, but all must have at least two passengers plus a volunteer driver. Each adult passenger pays one Metro bus fare for the round trip.

Trip destinations can be anywhere within a two-hour drive of Skyway. Trips can take place during the day, evening, and/or weekend.

How it works

  • Community members travel together to local destinations during the day, evening, or weekend.
  • Group trips and stops are preplanned (at least two days in advance) by a Community Transportation Coordinator.
  • Riders contact their Community Transportation Coordinator to join pre-scheduled Community Van trips.
  • Each trip must have at least two passengers in addition to the volunteer driver.
  • Each rider pays a one-zone Metro fare. The driver doesn’t pay a fare.
  • Riders can request a new trip by submitting an online form or contacting their community‘s Community Transportation Coordinator.
  • Riders can also suggest a trip they know will be popular with their friends and neighbors.
  • Accessible Community Vans are available on request. Tell the Community Transportation Coordinator about your needs before your trip.

How to pay

Each rider pays a standard Metro fare.
