ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2035


JOIN US IN OUR JOURNEY TO A CLEANER TOMORROW

Metro is one of the only large transit agencies in the country working toward a
100% zero-emissions fleet by 2035. Over the next decade, we’ll buy
zero-emissions buses, continue to invest in electric trolleys, add charging
infrastructure to existing bases, build new bases, and invest in new technology
systems to manage an evolving fleet.

A zero-emissions fleet will drastically cut air and noise pollution, making our
King County community cleaner and healthier.




A HEALTHIER KING COUNTY

Zero Emissions is our path to an innovative, sustainable mobility network that
our communities can rely on.


SUSTAINABLE SERVICE

Transitioning to a zero-emissions fleet will eliminate our reliance on fossil
fuels. Reducing our emissions now is an investment in a more sustainable future.


HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES

Battery-electric buses cut air pollution and keep noise down, too. We’re
introducing battery-electric buses in King County communities most affected by
air and noise pollution from transportation.


LEADING THE CHARGE

We’re on track to be one of the first large transit agencies in North America
with a fully zero-emissions fleet – and we take that seriously. We’re committed
to sharing our successes and lessons learned along the way.


FOLLOW OUR TRANSITION



We started our zero-emissions fleet transition in areas overburdened by air and
noise pollution in south King County. We’re also partnering with Sound Transit
on opportunity chargers at park and rides. Learn more about these efforts below.

METRO’S JOURNEY TO ZERO EMISSIONS

Metro’s commitment to climate justice drives every step of our transition to
zero emissions. Learn what we’ve already achieved and what’s next.


2004



Became the first public transit agency in North America to adopt a diesel hybrid
fleet.


2015



Purchased a fleet of 174 zero-emissions trolleys.


2016



Leased and piloted three battery-electric fast charge buses on routes 226 and
241.


2017



Committed to transitioning to a 100% zero-emissions bus fleet powered by
renewable energy.


2018 TO 2019



Leased and piloted 10 battery-electric buses from three different manufacturers.


2020



Celebrated the retirement of our last diesel bus.


2022



Began Transit System Electrification Planning to inform technical conversion
efforts.

Launched South Base Test Facility to pilot new charging technologies and start
battery-electric bus operations serving up to 22 routes.


2023



Purchased the last 13 hybrid coaches for RapidRide. All 40 battery-electric
buses are now serving South King County. Moving forward, Metro will only
purchase battery-electric buses.


2025 TO 2026



Open Interim Base at South Campus, fully equipped to service 120
battery-electric buses.


2026 TO 2028



Open five opportunity charging locations at Kent/Des Moines Link Station and
Burien, Kent, South Renton, and Federal Way transit centers.


2028



Open South Annex Base, Metro’s first Living Building Challenge certified base
that will house 250 battery-electric buses.

Restore two portions of Riverton Creek at South Annex Base to support salmon
habitat.


2028 TO 2035



Construct charging infrastructure at the remaining six existing bases and
continue to implement opportunity charging.


2035



Reach zero emissions goal for all modes of transit: Access paratransit, Water
Taxi, rideshare, buses, and Metro Flex.


WE’RE ON OUR WAY

Our path to a zero-emissions fleet is exciting and rewarding – and it will take
time and resources. We’re committed to anticipating challenges before they arise
and approaching the work with intentionality and care. We invite you to come
along with us.
