Speaking of traffic … ready to see if it’s possible to experience less of it? You have a few more weeks to sign up for Metro’s “Communities In Motion” program:

Want to earn a free, ORCA card good for two weeks of unlimited travel and qualify for other prizes – in exchange for driving less? King County Metro is in the last few weeks of its “Communities in Motion” program in South Park, West Seattle and White Center and looking for people who want to trade daily driving for more biking, walking and busing.

Through June 6, people who live or work in those three areas can sign up online and help reduce traffic congestion and boost the health of their community. The Metro In Motion team will be at events in your neighborhood soon and are happy to visit work and community centers upon request. Visit us online kingcounty.gov/inmotion.

How it Works

People aged 16 or older who live, work or attend school in the communities of South Park, West Seattle or White Center, and have at least one car in your household are eligible to participate in Communities in Motion. To participate, go to kingcounty.gov/inmotion and select your neighborhood, then follow these steps.

Take the Pledge: agree to shift two or more round trips per week from drive alone to another option.

Choose your resources and rewards: request resources that will help you with your new transit, carpool, bike and walking trips, including an ORCA card good for two weeks of unlimited travel, transit schedules, bike maps, pedometers and more.

Log your trips and earn rewards: once you’ve pledged, log your trips online to be eligible for weekly prize drawings. Winners will receive a Safeway gift card valued at $50.

Tell us about your experience: take our follow up survey once the program has ended to be eligible for a gift card drawing.
