From King County Metro Transit:
Due to a funding shortage, King County Metro Transit is forced to plan for cutting up to 17 percent of its service beginning in fall 2014. If no new funding is approved, we’ll have to make cuts throughout the county, with every community bearing a share of the impacts.
You can learn more about why service must be cut and how you may be affected at a public meeting at North Seattle Community College this week. We’re also inviting you to help us understand the affects these cuts will have on you.
