By Michelle Allison, General Manager, King County Metro

Recently, King County Metro and Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 587 reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract.

This achievement marks a key milestone in our longstanding partnership and shared commitment to invest in the County’s largest and the country’s finest public transportation workforce.

ATU will be providing members with more details about the contract as they prepare to vote on the agreement. Once ATU members approve the contract, it will move to the King County Council for consideration before being ratified and implemented.

Investing in the growth, development, and wellbeing of our workforce is our highest priority. Together, we provide safe, reliable and equitable public transportation that improves the regional mobility and quality of life in King County.

Thank you for everything you do.
