The Metro Employees Historic Vehicle Association (MEHVA) is a non-profit organization in Seattle, Washington, that is dedicated to preserving and promoting public transportation history. Established in 1987, MEHVA is run by volunteers who are current or retired employees of King County Metro Transit.

The association owns and operates a fleet of historic buses, trolleys, and other vehicles that are used for public tours and special events such as parades and festivals. The vehicles in the fleet include a 1940s-era trolley, a 1960s double-decker bus, and a 1950s trackless trolley.

MEHVA’s mission is to educate the public about the history of public transportation in the Seattle area and to inspire an appreciation for the role that transit plays in the community. The organization offers public tours and private charters, and the proceeds from these activities go towards the restoration and maintenance of the historic vehicles.

MEHVA also hosts an annual “Fall Foliage Tour” that takes passengers on a scenic tour of the Pacific Northwest. The tour is a popular event that often sells out months in advance.

Overall, the Metro Employees Historic Vehicle Association plays an important role in preserving the rich history of public transportation in Seattle and educating the public about its importance.
