King County Executive Dow Constantine published a news release yesterday regarding the initial findings of an evaluation of options for replacing King County Metro Transit's aging trolley bus fleet. These initial findings suggest that when all factors are considered - including available funding - new electric trolley buses would be the most cost-effective replacement with the least environmental impacts, according to Executive Constantine.
Metro is inviting the public to learn more about the initial findings of the trolley bus system evaluation at an open house on:
Tuesday, April 19
5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Plymouth Congregational
Church
1217 6th
Ave.,
Seattle
The initial findings for the Trolley Evaluation Study will soon be available and posted on the project website in the next two weeks. Please check back for more information at http://kingcounty.gov/ trolleyevaluation.html . In the meantime, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Sincerely,
