Rob Gannon King County Metro
\u201cHow do we make sure that public transportation connects people to opportunity and that that transportation connection is not a barrier, but an enabler?\u201d
Congratulations to King County Metro for being named the best large transit system in North America by APTA. According to their General Manager and this episode\u2019s guest, Rob Gannon, it\u2019s vital to advance the importance of public transit and the services that fall under that umbrella. The challenge is to \u2018broaden that umbrella and make sure customers understand it\u2019s not just a bus or light rail vehicle\u2019 that they are jumping on.\u2019 To do that agencies need to present a legitimate set of services, continue to deliver high-capacity fixed route transit well, and build more capacity to bring more service to your customers. He discusses this, and more, on this episode of Transit Unplugged.
