Accessibility guides of regional partners
Find resources for accessing bus service in our three-county region:
- King County Metro serves King County, including Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond.
- Pierce Transit serves Pierce County, including Tacoma.
- Community Transit serves Snohomish County, including Everett and Lynnwood.
Visitors to Seattle should know that the city is built on several hills, so many downtown sidewalks are quite steep! The Seattle Department of Transportation’s Accessible Route Planner can help you find curb ramps and navigate the hills. The planner has information on sidewalk slopes and elevators that are open to the public. Another great accessible route planning resource is the University of Washington’s AccessMap.
Regional FindARide
Discover other transportation options across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties through the FindARide trip planner. FindARide is a service of Hopelink, connecting people with transportation options beyond traditional buses and trains. These services include modes designed for older adults, people with disabilities, those needing transportation for medical appointments, and more! Sound Transit created FindARide as an online resource for transportation options in the Puget Sound, including public transit, specialized transportation, and community shuttles. Sound Transit managed the resource until 2015, but continues to partner with Hopelink and the King County Mobility Coalition.
