Transit customers count on quick access to reliable parking at park-and-rides. Yet many say it’s getting harder to find spaces, especially as more people use transit.
King County Metro knows some park-and-ride spots are being filled by people who aren’t there to catch a bus, vanpool, or carpool—instead, they’re going to nearby businesses, apartments, or construction sites.
Metro is exploring options to improve management of parking at their lots and garages, and they want your input.
One option might be permits for priority parking for carpoolers, similar to a program Sound Transit will roll out this fall, go to soundtransit.org/permitparking.
Take a 10-minute online survey at surveymonkey.com/r/Metro-Parking to tell Metro what you think. The deadline for comments is Friday, Aug. 19.
