University District Service

Community Transit offers 11 bus routes from Snohomish County to the University District. Free yourself from high gas prices and stressful commutes by exercising your University of Washington U-PASS options - unlimited rides on any area transit agency, free parking and subsidized fares for vanpools, and many other benefits.

Highlights

Swift bus rapid transit between Everett and Shoreline connects to U-District service near Highway 99 (Edmonds Park & Ride) and at Aurora Village (King County Metro Route 373). With your U-PASS, just board Swift at any door and be prepared to show you valid pass to a Swift Ambassador upon request.

Park & Ride. Community Transit bus service to the University Districts departs from park & rides and locations all over Snohomish County. With local bus service connections and bike racks on every bus, you might not even need to start your car. Check out bus service from Swamp Creek (on 164th St in Lynnwood), McCollum Park, Edmonds and Cedar and Grove, our newest park & ride in Marysville served by Route 821.

Day & Night. Community Transit Route 810 and Sound Transit ST Express buses serve the University District throughout the day and get you home when you’re on campus late. For staff and faculty, the U-PASS also provides an emergency ride home benefit.

Vanpool & Carpool. Join a van or start your own. The UW pays up to $70 a month toward vanpool fares for U-PASS holders. Primary drivers get their U-PASS free. Vans get priority ferry loading and free parking on campus. Bike racks are available.

Shop & Save. Get discounts with your U-PASS at more than 50 U-District merchants. Or use your U-PASS to get to shopping elsewhere (like Alderwood or Downtown Seattle) and save on gas and parking.
