Regional Transit Task Force. King County formed the Regional Transit Task Force in March 2010 to consider a policy framework to guide service investments or—if necessary—reductions. The group included community members, elected officials, and key stakeholders who represented diverse interests and perspectives from across the county. The task force identified short- and long-term objectives for transit service investment and formulated a service implementation policy, captured in Metro’s Service Guidelines, based on those objectives. They considered transit system design factors and approved several recommendations, explained in more detail in the Strategic Plan (Technical Report A). For the Regional Transit Task Force’s full report, visit kingcounty.gov/transittaskforce. Service Guidelines Task Force. In 2015, after Metro had used the adopted service guidelines for several years, the County Council formed a Service Guidelines Task Force to further analyze how transit service is evaluated and allocated and to consider changes in the guidelines. The task force developed consensus recommendations that are incorporated into both this plan and Metro’s Service Guidelines, summarized in Appendix B, “Service Guidelines Task Force Recommendations.”
