A Community Transit bus is parked outside the Link Northgate Station.

Transit Changes in 2024 and Beyond is our plan for bus service changes to prepare for light rail coming to Snohomish County in the next few years. Over the past 18 months, your input has helped us define our plan for transit changes in 2024 and beyond. Learn about these transit changes in a recorded webinar.

The Community Transit Board of Directors approved this plan for bus service on April 6. Learn more about this plan for bus service and when we will implement changes below. 

King County Metro conducted separate outreach for its Lynnwood Link connections in February and March. Learn more here.

Our goals for these transit changes are to:
  • Connect bus service to light rail— creating easy connections between light rail, Swift bus rapid transit service, and frequent local bus service
  • Expand access to frequent service— allowing for fast trips between key points throughout Snohomish County with improved transit access to more jobs and essential services, shorter walking distances, and less waiting between bus connections.
  • Adjust to the changing market— considering how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected how people ride transit
  • Focus on equitable access— improving service for those who depend on transit the most

When will transit changes occur

When these changes will occur is impacted by:

Our transit changes are designed to align with the Lynnwood Link (1 Line) light rail launch. We will be flexible with timing to provide the best service to our riders.

We will implement these transit changes in phases starting in 2024 and continuing through 2026. With every service change between 2024 and 2026, there will be progress on these changes. This phased implementation will also allow us time to recruit drivers. Some changes may be implemented with a lower frequency and we will add additional frequency as we hire more drivers.

How we got here

Your input helped shape the final transit service plan

Thank you for the input you’ve shared over the past 18 months! Your input has helped shape the final transit service plan.

Phase 1: Transit Values and Priorities

In fall 2021, Community Transit asked you what your values and priorities are for future transit service when light rail comes to Snohomish County in the next few years. We received nearly 1,000 survey responses, and we heard about barriers to transit use and a preference for:

  • More local bus service rather than regional service to transit centers
  • More mid-day and evening weekday service, and weekend service
Phase 2: Draft Transit Service Plan

We used your feedback, demographic data, and our equity index to develop a draft plan for bus service. The equity index is part of carrying out the agency’s core value of Equity and Inclusion; a new equity index will be used to guide the development of the future bus network. It considers populations with very low incomes, communities of color, foreign-born residents, limited English-speaking households, and people living with a disability. In spring 2022, we asked for feedback on this draft plan on a route-by-route basis.

We received more than 750 survey responses, and we heard:

  • Increase frequency
  • Concerns that routes/light rail is too far from your final destination
  • Later evening service and more weekend service
  • Keep commuter bus service to Seattle
Phase 3: Final Draft Transit Service Plan

Following Phase 2 outreach, we updated the transit service plan based on input from:

  • the public during both phases of outreach,
  • conversations with partner agencies,
  • ridership data, and
  • efficient bus operations.

We received more than 100 comments, and we heard:

  • A desire from current commuter bus riders to maintain their one-seat ride to downtown Seattle and concerns about using light rail due to safety concerns.
  • A concern with how schedules will align to make similar trips as riders take today.
  • Support for the more frequent bus service, as well as more bus service earlier in the day and later at night.

The Community Transit Board of Directors reviewed and considered all public comments and voted to approve the plan on April 6. Learn more about the transit changes and when they will go into effect below.


Final Transit Service Plan

A 35-Route bus network

This final transit service plan is our final plan for transit changes in 2024 and beyond. The plan contains 35 routes with approximately 480,000 annual service hours—that’s 32% more service than today! It also represents the level of service frequency we expect to operate in 2026 once the light rail operates at full capacity.

  • Reflects your input from the past 18 months
  • Connects to new light rail service in Snohomish County with our new express 900-series routes
  • Improves and expands access to fast and frequent Swift bus rapid transit lines, including the new Swift Orange Line
  • Adds more frequent bus service throughout Snohomish County, including more late-night and weekend bus service with three times the number of routes with 20 minutes or better frequency and two times the number of routes with 30 minutes or better frequency
  • Increases the number of people and jobs within walking distance of all-day, frequent transit service by 68% and 40%, respectively
  • Replaces Northgate and downtown Seattle bus service with new express routes to Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace light rail stations
  • Adapts to shifts in ridership for frequent local service

Transit Changes 2024 Frequently Asked Questions

By connecting our bus service to the light rail stations in Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood, Community Transit can add more local bus service throughout Snohomish County. Light rail provides a fast, reliable connection to Seattle.

Previously the Transit Changes in 2024 and Beyond project was called Transit in 2024. We updated the project's name to reflect when changes will be implemented. You can find more information about when transit changes will occur on this page.

Our staff conducted the standard analysis, in compliance with federal regulations. The analysis found that the proposed service change does not have a meaningful disparate effect on minority, low-income, or limited-English speaking populations.
