A pilot project that gives people more room to safely walk and bicycle while physical distancing during the COVID-19 crisis – by temporarily closing streets to non-local vehicle traffic – is expanding starting Friday, June 5.

King County is directing people to wear cloth face coverings in certain settings to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus as more businesses reopen and activities resume, officials said Monday.

As part of the city’s response to the COVID-19 crisis the Transportation Department has implemented a Healthy Streets pilot project.

From King County Metro: Thanks to everyone who is staying home and keeping transit seats available for

A survey from Cascade Bicycle Club asks people how their relationship with walking and biking has changed since the outbreak began and seeks ideas for how Cascade can help during this time.

From King County Metro:

King County Metro would like to hear your thoughts about the bus service King County Metro provides for you. For example, are the buses usually on time? Is it easy to get information about the bus services, is it convenient paying a fare? Are the buses clean, comfortable and well-driven?

We are interested in your replies whether you use the buses frequently, occasionally, or even if you hardly ever use the bus service.

Although King County Metro and Sound Transit have announced service reductions in response to COVID 19, transit can still be your trusty option for essential travel needs during this time.
