Rebecca Fox, Associate Planner, DCD, explained that this project
was funded by a grant received from the State of Washington
Commute Trip Reduction Program to run a mid -day shuttle. The
idea behind this short term project was to give people an
opportunity to get out of their cars during lunch and still be able to
do errands and other lunch time activities that Tukwila offers. The
service by Para Transit Services, based in Bremerton, was
provided free of charge to riders. The public Request For
Proposals (RFP) process was used to select this firm. A contract
was awarded to them to operate four shuttle buses through the
Tukwila CBD from April 29 to June 28, five days a week, between
the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The Lunch Bus
demonstration was a success from the City of Tukwila's
perspective. The City demonstrated that it was able to provide a
convenient service to commuters and build a good rapport with
passengers.
