Getting around Arlington with Community Transit
Community Transit is here to get you where you want to go. We are proud to be a part of the Arlington community — we live here, ride here, and drive here. Wherever you need to go in Arlington, feel good about how you get there.
About Arlington
Arlington lies on the Stillaguamish River in the western foothills of the Cascade Range and is home to many regional destinations. People traveling to and from the area can choose from a robust bus and ferry network, the expanding Sound Transit commuter train, and express bus routes adjacent to the city of Marysville. Smokey Point Transit Center is a major hub for many of these regional transit options, including Community Transit buses, DART paratransit service, and Vanpool riders. The Snohomish County Centennial Trail also offers nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.
New Zip Shuttle pilot areas now available
Zip Shuttle service areas now include Lake Stevens, Arlington, and Darrington in addition to Alderwood to make getting around even easier!

Why are bike lockers changing?
We're using the same kind of bike lockers that other transit agencies in the region use to make it easier for customers traveling regionally. The lockers use the same BikeLink payment cards and app. We hope this change will make it more convenient, flexible, and accessible for our customers. Data shows that BikeLink on-demand systems serve 5- to 7-times more cyclists per year than other systems.
