*Contracted Services Program Information
**Access Paratransit program: *Access Paratransit is a pre-scheduled, demand-responsive, shared-ride transportation service. Metro paratransit services complement Metro fixed-route bus service, Seattle Streetcar, and Sound Transit bus and rail services. Metro exceeds the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for individuals whose disabilities prevent the use of accessible, non-commuter, fixed-route transit services.

*Community Access Transportation program: *The program expands mobility options for older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income populations by developing partnerships with community agencies and jurisdictions in King County. The CAT program currently provides over 140 vehicles, operating funds, and/or technical assistance to assist over 25 community agencies that provide their own transportation services for their customers. In return, the agencies provide a minimum number of rides per month for Access-eligible customers and people with special transportation needs. Rides are provided by community agencies, such as Sound Generations’ Hyde Shuttle, Snoqualmie Valley Transportation, and the Northshore Senior Center. The CAT program also develops alternative mobility service options for people with special transportation needs (primarily older adults and people with disabilities, which include low-income populations). The program is also overseeing an Access On-Demand pilot that allows a small number of pilot participants to use a limited number of rides on Metro Flex service for same-day service.
*Community Van program:* Community Vans can be reserved in advance for shared-ride trips in King County. Community members travel together to local destinations during the day, evening, or weekend. Group trips and stops are preplanned (at least two days in advance) by a Community Transportation Coordinator. Riders contact their Community Transportation Coordinator to join pre-scheduled Community Van trips. Each trip must have at least two passengers in addition to the volunteer driver. Each rider pays a one-zone Metro fare. The driver doesn’t pay a fare. Riders can request a new trip by submitting an online form or contacting their community‘s Community Transportation Coordinator. Riders can also suggest a trip they know will be popular with their friends and neighbors. Accessible Community Vans are available on request. For more information, Community Van - King County, Washington [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/travel-options/community-van ]
*Rideshare-Vanpool program: *Vanpool is public transit rideshare where a consistent group of commuters with a similar origin, destination and work schedule share the driving responsibilities and split fares in a Metro-provided vehicle. Fares cover the vehicle, fuel, insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, and an emergency ride home program. Each Metro Vanpool needs at least two or more to volunteer as drivers and at least one to complete the monthly reports and collect fares. Many employers in and around King County subsidize in full, or in part, their employees vanpool fares making vanpools even more convenient, flexible, and affordable. Vanshares are available for commuters who need to share the ride to or from another public transit mode such as a park-and-ride, trains station or transit hub.
