What is a TDP?
Each year, Community Transit updates its six-year Transit Development Plan (TDP), which forecasts the agency's financial picture and outlines services it can then provide.
The TDP is required by Washington State, Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.58.2795. The plan is updated annually and submitted to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
Our plan:
- Summarizes accomplishments from the past calendar year
- Documents agency goals and strategies for the current and following five years
- Identifies needed resources
- Provides a financial forecast
2023-2028 TDP: Key initiatives
Community Transit has big plans to expand our service over the next six years. From connecting to light rail to reimagining our bus service to expanding our Swift bus rapid transit network, we invite you to learn about our plans in the Transit Development Plan (TDP).
The 2023-2028 Transit Development Plan is focused on delivering excellent service and building the future with expanded transit options, including:
- Reimagining bus service to connect to light rail in Snohomish County and expanding access to frequent service.
- Expanding the Swift bus-rapid transit network with the new Swift Orange Line and Swift Blue Line extension, as well as planning for the future Swift Gold Line and Swift Green Line extension.
- Investing in innovative services like our Zip Alderwood Shuttle, with additional pilot programs in Arlington, Darrington, and Lake Stevens.
- Conducting a Zero Emissions Feasibility Study to determine the best technology for our agency as we find new and sustainable ways to serve our customers and further reduce carbon emissions in our region.
- Launching a new Transit Security Officer program to make our service and our community a safe and welcoming place for all.
