Community Transit seeks public comment on Transit Development

SNOHOMISH COUNTY—Community Transit is seeking public comment on the agency’s draft Transit Development Plan (TDP) through July 10, 2024.

A significant milestone over the next six years is aligning and connecting bus service with Lynnwood Link light rail in 2024. Major changes to the bus network will take place on September 14, shortly after the launch of the Lynnwood Link extension. More changes are on the horizon with expanded local service, new express routes, and micro transit pilots in Arlington, Darrington, and Lake Stevens.

Specific initiatives in the TDP include:

  • Connecting to light rail, adding frequency to bus service
  • Expanding the Swift bus rapid transit (BRT) network
  • Growing Innovative Services like the Zip Alderwood Shuttle
  • Transitioning to a zero emissions fleet
  • Enhancing safety and security

People can comment in a variety of ways:

Community Transit is required by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to adopt a six-year Transit Development Plan that is updated annually. Annual updates include activities, accomplishments and performance reports from the previous year, and a refreshed six-year forecast of agency financials, service levels, and capital projects.

Community Transit provides bus and paratransit service, vanpool, and innovative transit options in Snohomish County. The agency is expanding the Swift bus rapid transit network to connect people to light rail and provide fast, frequent service throughout the county.
