Learn more below about the employees, transit deputies, and authorized contractors who contribute to transit safety. Riders who fail to comply with these rules may be excluded from accessing transit services and facilities for a designated period of time.

Community Transit’s SOC provides assistance, answers calls, and deploys resources during security incidents and in response to related requests. The SOC is open daily between 5:15 a.m. and 11:45 p.m.
Transit Security Officers (TSO)
TSOs assist with questions, patrol transit facilities, and respond to incidents to help keep people safe while taking transit. TSOs can confirm fare payment and help ensure that people follow our Rules of Conduct. They work closely with transit deputies, social workers, and transit employees.
Transit Deputies
Transit deputies are law enforcement officers who respond to calls, and help enforce laws and our Rules of Conduct on transit services and at transit facilities. Deputies may also issue a citation when a person fails to pay their fare. The Transit Police Unit is employed by the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
Service Ambassadors
Ambassadors provide customer service at transit centers, bus stops, and on buses. They help answer questions and confirm rider fare payments.
Social Workers
Social workers connect people to resources and help remove barriers to support. They provide assistance to law enforcement and security officers and help address people's needs. They are employees of Snohomish County Human Services.
