Today @DASHBus surprised us by publicly recognizing Metro’s support during the January snowstorm! We're so proud of Team Metro for stepping in without hesitation to help clear 46 DASH bus stops impacted by snow & ice. Partnerships like this keep our region strong! 🤝

Your eyes are not deceiving you! @DASHbus really did hit 4.6 million trips AND $249.8 million of economic benefits in their 2023 impact profile! As these numbers rise, we hope your understanding of the important role #transit plays in our community does too.
