The comprehensive regional public transit provided by King County Metro is our region's primary means for reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions. In coordination with land use policy (See Land use above), our top-ranked transit system is a catalyst for moving our region toward a climate-friendly clean energy economy.

Ridership

King County Metro has attracted increased public transit ridership thereby reducing the use of personal cars. Fixed-route buses, on-demand services, the nation's largest public vanpool program, access for people with disabilities, commuter trip reduction programs, and our growing system of convenient park-and-ride lots all play a role in combating climate change.
