Community Transit is expanding our Swift bus rapid transit (BRT) network by extending the Swift Green Line. Swift Green Line Extension will create direct connections to two major destinations at downtown Bothell and UW Bothell/Cascadia College, as well as Sound Transit’s Stride S3 BRT line.
Design and environmental review is underway. The timeline for Swift Green Line Extension aligns with the City of Bothell's Bothell Way NE Multimodal Project and the Sound Transit Stride S3 Line. Coordinating construction with the Bothell Way project is more efficient and reduces overall costs. We anticipate you’ll be able to ride the Swift Green Line Extension starting in 2030.
Opportunities to engage
We gathered input from the community on the proposed station locations from Oct. 16 through Nov. 10, 2023. Visit the Swift Green Line Extension online open house to learn more about the recommended station locations.
