Community Transportation

Welcome to the Algona/Pacific Community Transportation program!

This is a new rideshare pilot program brought to Algona and Pacific neighborhoods by King County Metro, in partnership with the City of Algona and City of Pacific to provide community members with a new way to share the ride.  This service provides shared rides, either one-time or recurring, to popular destinations and are available throughout the day, evening, and on weekends to provide residents with customized options for getting around when bus service can't meet their needs.  Trips must be scheduled in advance through a local Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC).

 

How it works?

  • Community members travel together to local destinations throughout the day, evening and weekends.

 

  • Group trips and stops are preplanned ahead of time by the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC).

 

  • Riders contact their CTC to find a pre-scheduled community van trip or to request a new trip.

 

  • Trips must have at least two passengers in addition to the volunteer driver; each rider will pay a Metro one-zone fare for the round trip while the driver travels for free.

 

  • Riders request a trip through the listed trip contact or CTC.

 

  • Riders can suggest a trip they know is popular with their friends and neighbors.

 

  • Accessible community vans are available upon request. Inform the CTC about your needs before your trip.
