About Lake Stevens
Lake Stevens is a small city located about six miles East of Everett named for the lake it surrounds. Along with its many residential areas, it has two major commercial centers: downtown and Frontier Village. People traveling to and from the area can choose from four bus routes that serve the Lake Stevens Transit Center. People can also use Community Transit's DART paratransit service and Vanpool services. Multiple parks and trails also offer nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.

Community Transit Evaluates Moving to a Zero-Emissions Fleet
Snohomish County leaders are preparing for a greener future, and Community Transit is no exception. Community Transit plans to strengthen its commitment to environmental sustainability by studying a move to zero-emissions buses and the infrastructure, systems, and employee training needed to support that technology. These activities align closely with state and county initiatives.
The first step in transitioning to a zero-emissions fleet is to look at the different technology options to decide what the best fit is for Community Transit. We recently began testing a 60-foot battery electric bus. Bus drivers and mechanics are getting a chance to “kick the tires” on this leased bus. The Community Transit Board of Directors also had a chance to check out the bus and hear more about the developing strategy behind the move to zero-emissions.
Moving to a zero emissions fleet would be a fundamental change and transform how we do business. There will need to be changes to our facilities, technology, operations, and training programs. It’s all part of a years-long approach to evaluating and developing a sustainable strategy that will benefit transit riders for generations to come.
Next year, two Community Transit-owned zero-emissions buses will hit the streets! It will be a whole new experience for riders and another step toward lowering carbon emissions and preserving the beautiful environment we call home.
