Welcome

Snohomish County is growing, and our travel needs are changing

Jump to the survey 

In October 2021, Community Transit began providing bus service to light rail at Northgate Station, opening up new transit options for those wanting to travel into King County. In 2024, new light rail stations will open in Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, and Lynnwood that will provide even more options for using light rail to travel to and from King County.

By connecting our buses to these stations, Community Transit will be able to add more local bus service throughout Snohomish County.

Last fall we asked to hear your values and priorities for Transit in 2024, and nearly 1,000 people responded.

Our commitment: using your feedback

We have used your feedback, our travel data, and a new equity index to create this proposed network of 36 bus routes.

Based on what we heard from you, this proposed network includes:

  • New local and express (fewer stops) routes
  • More neighborhood bus service, including service in new areas to provide access to schools, jobs, and destinations
  • More frequent bus service with the new Swift Orange Line and additional local routes, increasing frequent weekday bus service by nearly 50%
  • More bus service during key travel times, including approximately 30% more trips during the middle of the day and more than doubling the number of routes operating until 11 p.m.
  • All 400 and 800-series buses will be replaced by a new 900-route series. 900-series buses will provide connections to light rail within Snohomish County, instead of going to Northgate Station or downtown Seattle.

We want to hear what you think of this proposed network. Once we gather additional feedback from you, we will modify our plans and present a refined proposal in late 2022.

This proposed 2024 network is the beginning of our future plans. As our workforce grows and ridership increases, we plan to expand service even further, improving access to transit throughout the county.

Commitment to equity and inclusion

Equity is at the core of our future transit plans, including how we connect with and serve communities. We especially want to involve those who depend on transit to get around and those who may have been underserved in the past.

We are providing this website and survey in five languages and working with community organizations to help include more people in this planning process. In our review process, we will prioritize populations with very low incomes, Hispanic/Latinx and communities of color, foreign-born residents, households that speak limited English, and people living with a disability.

Overview of 2024 Proposed Route Changes

You can review more details on route information in the survey section below. This table shows existing routes on the left and how routes are proposed to change in stages during 2023-2024.

For example, we propose that Route 106 will be discontinued and replaced by new routes 121, 166 and 906. You can select Routes 121, 166, and/or 906 in the survey to review details and provide feedback on these changes.
