The King County Department of Transporation has several tools available to residents to help stay on top of severe weather and to find out the latest road closures and Metro Transit schedule changes.

Budget challenges. King County adopted a budget for 2004, but the loss of vehicle license fee money from initiative 776 means the Roads Division will have to revise its construction and maintenance plans for the New Year. Find out how the new budget impacts the Roads Division, Metro Transit, King County International Airport and the Fleet Services Division.
