King County Access bus drivers help with food deliveries during coronavirus crisis
The coronavirus pandemic has crippled the restaurant industry and strained resources at local food banks which are working hard to provide meals to those who desperately need them.
Now some nonprofits, restaurant partners and even a critical part of King County's transportation network are working together to try and make sure nobody falls through the cracks.
The Access Transportation buses are generally used by King County to drive around people with disabilities but they’ve seen a dramatic drop in ridership.
“With Access ridership down about 75% or more, we had the drivers and we had the fleet to be able to pivot and change what we're doing to be able to help the community,” Solid Ground Transportation Director Kari Ware explained.
