*King County Public Health and Metro Updates*

Below are a few important updates for people living in King County. We
realize that you may live elsewhere in our state. We want to help ensure
similar changes are made where you live too. *If you live outside of King
County and have concerns about access to COVID related care or
transportation, please respond to this email.* DRW will work to push
elected officials to make necessary changes across the state.

*Drive-Thru Access*

This week, DRW and Rooted in Rights joined with coalition partners to ask
Seattle to ensure people without access to a car or who are unable to drive
have access to drive-thru only restaurants, by signing onto a *letter*

*COVID-19 Testing*

*King County** Metro*

King County Metro Transit has reduced service due to the continued effects
of COVID-19. Your bus may be running less often, during fewer hours, or be
canceled. *Check their updated reduced schedule
<https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mps2/c/FAE/ni0YAA/t.30t/9rXMrZkQS-WOnFU7r2SrlA/h2/-2FskuX7IU64E9VutGoL06IAKPIgbDeEkBsxpWKvdFzHGIucG46kQilc2c0JYIFGg3Urq-2FN8F4WPNILZ-2FtWzXPfPPCdy-2BV403oym9RzsHczMKY5d2ciVf7d6eDEKQX-2F5fX1GBdRhzQ4WIKbQEafSLPDy4YmF7ABeEzJr96997EgL1HdX7umXOFRC8RkA3dQqGcRBByqnI3EDEm8I-2BbLZsWcKNn4-2B24j-2BjmHbghQwR93rbwi6lPNl7XzMV7ymGc0ULddT6vPaZVjJJijjOCwXxV3Bi3iubDypKns11EqkpWhw7nnMkxbnm8ctzulK2KQ7pw1YqijMNTYRxe4Ih52wJ2OuE4d1GJVRQqvhLU4d5Qy9fHrbVbHXEUNgAaibbO3HQK/vxFB>.*
The Reduced Schedule page has a banner at the top where all languages will
be featured once translations are complete.

Despite Metro’s service reductions, Access is maintaining its traditional
service area, hours, and days of service, and may be an option for riders
with disabilities for whom fixed route is no longer available even though
they are not currently certified for Access service.

Customers with disabilities who are no longer able to reach their essential
destinations using fixed-route service can *contact the Access
Transportation Call Center at 206-205-5000 *for assistance with both
emergent and ongoing essential transportation needs.

For COVID-positive individuals who need to travel for medical care, Metro
is currently working with Public Health to create a separate service using
dedicated Access vehicles, bus bases, and drivers who have volunteered for
the assignment.

*Check the COVID page on our website for updates on our COVID related
advocacy and external resources.*
