King County Metro RapidRide Kiosk Design

King County Metro’s RapidRide kit-of-parts is a shelter design with an adaptable fabrication process, tailored to site-specific conditions while maintaining a cohesive and recognizable set of amenities that enhance the passenger experience. The design includes expandable passenger shelters, technology pylons, and foundation elements. These distinct shelters and informational pylons also serve as wayfinding elements.

Our team developed details for the shelter’s foundation designs and reviewed the architectural plans for structural adequacy, ensuring compliance with International and local building codes. These design details now form the basis for potentially thousands of shelters across the KCM service area. Additionally, our work order manager provides ongoing construction support, adjusting designs to accommodate site-specific conditions.

With the pending launch of the RapidRide H Line—the first to implement the new kit-of-parts approach—our team worked closely with KCM, delivering timely and efficient responses. This project, completed as part of our on-call contract with KCM, exemplifies the quick and responsive service that underpins our reliable partnership with them.
