Bus Route 40 carries riders to some of the busiest parts of Seattle including South Lake Union, Fremont, Ballard and Aurora. Sometimes that means it runs late, and while it’s on time 65% of the time or more during rush hour, we’re tackling the challenge of improving reliability for riders.
That’s why Metro and the Seattle Department of Transportation are partnering on the Route 40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor Project. We are in the early planning phase of the project and identifying how we can speed up and improve the reliability of the Route 40. Improvements would then be designed, with construction anticipated for completion in 2024.
