Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van provides residents with a 24/7 reservation-based, group trip transportation option

Community van service is available to Shoreline and LFP residents 24/7
and is reserved in advance for 2 - 12 people

The new Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Community Van can provide group trips 24/7 and is reserved in advance.

 
Group trip requests are made through a local Community Transportation Coordinator. This local, paid representative then finds a volunteer driver to fulfill the trip request and makes the transportation opportunity public to the community at large. The minimum group size is two riders plus a driver.

The Community Van service is available to any resident of Shoreline or Lake Forest Park. The service area is flexible; reserved trips must simply originate within the boundaries of the cities of Shoreline or Lake Forest Park.

This person-to-person booking approach has been successfully implemented by Metro in partnership with other communities such as Bothell-Woodinville, Vashon, and Duvall.
