DATE: October 6, 2020
TO: Kent City Council
SUBJECT: King County Metro Access to Transit Agreement-Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a funding agreement with the King
County Metro Transit Department to design five Access to Transit projects
with Regional Mobility Grant program funding from King County Metro, for
the amount of $285,000, subject to final terms and conditions acceptable
to the City Attorney and the Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: In January 2020, King County Metro approached the City of Kent with
a proposal to design and construct access to transit improvements. Between
January and July, City staff coordinated with King County Metro staff to identify
projects, cost estimates and timelines that fit the available funding source being
offered by King County Metro, a WSDOT Regional Mobility Grant (RMG). The RMG
funds must be spent by June 30, 2021. Due to this time constraint, King County
Metro is only funding the design phase. The City will be seeking outside funding in
2021 and 2022 to construct the 5 projects.

THIS NON‐MOTORIZED TRANSIT ACCESS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by
and between the City of Kent, a municipality of the State of Washington, (the "City" or "Contractor") and
King County, a political subdivision of the State of Washington, through its Metro Transit Department
(the "County"), either of which entity may be referred to hereinafter as "Party" or collectively as the
"Parties."
WHEREAS, the County has been awarded a Regional Mobility grant ("Grant") from the Washington
State Department of Transportation ("WSDOT") that is expected to improve connectivity and mobility by
providing capital funding assistance to implement a high‐occupancy vehicle (HOV) parking program, on‐
site bicycle parking improvements, and to construct non‐motorized system improvements connecting
bikeways and walkways to park and ride facilities/transit centers serving major transportation corridors;
and
WHEREAS, for the non‐motorized improvements element of the WSDOT Grant, the County intends to
partner with local jurisdictions to fund the design and construction of such capital projects as sidewalks,
bikeways, safe crossings, ADA ramps, traffic calming devices and treatments, lighting, traffic counters,
and other improvements for enhanced safety, comfort and access to transit services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, Metro has worked with the cities of Renton, Kent and Auburn to redesign transit service in
their cities and to identify barriers to accessing transit service; and
WHEREAS, the County and the City have mutual interest in reducing barriers to transit service in order to
support access to transit services and facilities in the City; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have identified capital improvement project(s) eligible for the funds that will
support and improve transit access in the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
