      QUESTIONNAIRE
      Potential changes to bus service for southwest King County
      King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit are working together on potential changes to bus routes serving southwest King County. The changes would be phased in after Sound Transit's Link light rail service reaches Sea-Tac Airport in late 2009 and Metro's new RapidRide A-Line service begins along Pacific Highway S/International Boulevard in 2010. The changes are being suggested in order to connect neighborhoods to new Link and RapidRide stations, to avoid duplication between the different types of transit service, and to improve overall bus service in southwest King County.

      Completed questionnaires are due by Nov. 6, 2008.
