Via to Transit
Via to Transit is a new, pilot on-demand service that connects riders to and from five transit hubs in southeast Seattle and Tukwila starting April 16. People who live, work, or go to school within the specified service areas can download the app and request a ride from Via to Transit to get to one of five transit hubs: Mount Baker, Columbia City, Othello, Rainier Beach, and Tukwila International Blvd. From there, riders can catch Link light rail or access one of 14 bus routes. The new service is brought to you by King County Metro in partnership with Sound Transit and the City of Seattle for a 12-month pilot period.

How it works:
~ Book a ride on-demand with the Via app or by calling 206-258-7739.
~ Pay upon boarding with your ORCA card or with Transit GO Ticket.
~ Expect to be picked up within 10-15 minutes of your trip request; pick-up location may require a  short walk.
~ Rides will be shared with other Metro customers, while assuring you get to your destination promptly.
~ Via to Transit is available for trips in the defined service areas only (SE Seattle and Tukwila). One end of your trip must be the designated Link light rail station for the service area. A short walk to/from the vehicle may be required. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available.

How much does it cost to ride?
Via to Transit costs the same as a Metro bus ride. Standard Metro fares apply.
Adults (19 and older) $2.75
Youth (6-18 yrs) $1.50

The platform elevator at the eastbound stop at Evergreen Point  Freeway Station is out of service

The platform elevator at the stop eastbound on SR-520 at the Evergreen Point Freeway Station is out of service, until further notice.

Transit riders who require the use of an elevator can plan ahead to exit eastbound SR-520 transit service at the Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point stop, and transfer to a westbound service to return to Evergreen Point Freeway Station.  The elevators at the westbound platform are not affected.

Every effort is being made to restore the elevator as soon as possible.
