of the King County Department of Transportation Public Affairs Unit. "Inside Transportation" airs on King County Civic Television (CTV) Tuesday nights at 5 p.m., Wednesday mornings at 5 a.m., and various other times during the week.

Fly quiet – King County International Airport is
teaching pilots how to fly more quietly. The new program includes using
approaches and departures that take planes over water rather than residential
neighborhoods whenever possible, and monitoring noise levels to determine
where the trouble spots are. |
Modern roundabout – It’s a first for King
County. A traffic-controlling device that doesn’t use signals, yet keeps traffic
flowing and provides a safer way for pedestrians to cross the street.

town. Metro Transit’s new Hybrid electric buses are in service and more are on
the way! |

Flagger ahead – Summertime is prime time for road
construction and repairs around the county. Do you know what the laws are when
driving through a construction zone? |

Public Safety Partnership – What started off as a
casual conversation between drivers and riders has evolved into a ten-year
campaign that has improved communication and led to several Metro Transit
security and safety policies. |
