Tour for Up to 15 People of King County Metro's Electric Bus Test Facility

Up to 15 people are invited on a tour of King County Metro's South Base where we are testing electric buses and different charging technology.

This King County Metro-led tour will provide attendees with a chance to see our operations as we test electric battery buses and charging infrastructure. It's an opportunity to learn more about our transition to a zero-emissions future- how we are acquiring 1400+ buses and supplemental vehicles, investing in charging infrastructure and technology, building two new bus depots and fully converting Metro's seven bases to support zero emissions, and transforming Metro's operations.

This tour will be two hours and is expected to be fully accessible (though there may be a few areas inaccessible to participants unable to walk). Closed-toed shoes are required with low to no heel. Steel-toed/safety shoes recommended, but sneakers are acceptable. Safety vests and other PPE (if needed) will be provided by Metro.
