Hopelink is part of a coordinated transportation network that allows all people to move freely around King County and the Puget Sound region. During the summer of 2022, Hopelink and King County Metro launched the first Community Transportation Navigators Program (CTN), connecting community members with trusted peer guides who, through shared experiences, languages, cultures, and geography, provide transportation options and connections to greater opportunities.
The Community Transportation Navigators program uses a peer-to-peer approach to provide trusted transportation information and outreach education to hard-to-reach communities. This model empowers and encourages community champions to use their networks and ensure their local communities receive culturally inclusive information and resources.
