Transit services for all riders
Welcome aboard! Community Transit helps people living with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities get from where they are to where they want to be. We work to remove barriers to travel to help each rider feel comfortable and safe aboard our buses and vans.
- Service or guide animals are allowed on all Community Transit buses.
- Guidelines for bringing a wheelchair, scooter, or other mobility device on fixed-route and DART services can be found on the Accessible Service Options page.
Buses and bus stops
Bus stops, transit centers, and buses are ADA accessible to meet the needs of all riders. Our buses are equipped with a ramp, with seats reserved for older adults and riders with disabilities. Drivers are trained to secure mobility devices and can answer many rider questions.
Travel Training
Learn how to ride the bus with our free Travel Training program. Training is available for anyone who would like to learn how to ride the bus and is customized to ensure each rider feels confident before traveling on their own.
DART paratransit
DART is a service for riders with one or more disabilities that prevent them from using Community Transit fixed-route bus services. To qualify, riders must participate in an in-person rider assessment.
Zip Shuttle
Book a ride with Zip Shuttle — our on-demand shared ride service — for quick and easy door-to door trips anywhere within our four service areas: Alderwood, Arlington, Darrington, and Lake Stevens. Accessible vehicles are available on request when booking a trip.
Reduced fare information
The easiest way to pay is with an ORCA card. Riders with disabilities can use a Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) to get discounted fares on regional transit services, including Community Transit buses, Sound Transit trains, Link light rail, Washington State Ferries, and more. Medicare card holders can also get an RRFP. Riders must use an ORCA card to get the discounted fare.
- Reduced rates for ORCA card users living with disabilities.
- Tap your ORCA card or pay with cash. If paying with cash, please use exact change.
- Riders taking a Swift bus route can also pay with a credit or debit card at the station kiosk.
- DART paratransit tickets and passes can be purchased online, in person at the Ride Store, or by calling 425-348-2350.
