Lynnwood Link Connections Boards
Through a three-phase community engagement process, Metro will focus on listening to mobility needs, learning about barriers that riders face and opportunities to improve transit in northwest King County. We will stay informed by local communities about changing conditions that pose mobility challenges and explore benefits and tradeoffs of future mobility options with community members and stakeholders.
Mobility Board
Metro is convening a Lynnwood Link Connections Mobility Board that equitably represents groups of people historically left out of decision-making conversations related to transit and who are disproportionately affected by these decisions. The Mobility Board’s primary role is to collaborate with Metro staff to develop and refine a coordinated regional transit network in Northwest King County.
Mobility Board members include:
- Those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; people with physical and/or cognitive disabilities; people with low- to no-income; people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity; immigrants and/or refugees; and people with linguistic diversity.
- Those transit riders and potential transit riders who live, work, or travel within affected communities: North Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, and Mountlake Terrace.
- Those who bring their perspective as an individual, not representing the interests of a larger group or organization.
- Those who can draw connections between racial equity, transportation issues, and access to opportunities.
Metro aims to convene a Mobility Board that equitably represents groups of people historically left out of decision-making conversations related to transit and who are disproportionately affected by these decisions. These groups of people include Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; people with physical and/or cognitive disabilities; people with low- to no-income; people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity; immigrants and/or refugees; and people with linguistic diversity. We recognize that people can have multiple identities from which they experience both privilege and oppression, and we encourage those who identify as coming from multiple un(der)served groups to apply to serve on the Lynnwood Link Connections Mobility Board.
