Community Transit hosted a Webinar and Q&A on Zoom to present information about the transit changes and answer your questions.
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.
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 2023! It also represents the level of service frequency we expect to operate in 2026 once the light rail operates at full capacity. This final transit service plan:
We began implementing these transit changes in phases starting in March 2024, and in September 2024 we made significant changes to our bus system as light rail reached Snohomish County. These transit changes are designed to align with the Lynnwood Link (1 Line) light rail launch and ongoing recruitment for bus drivers, and we will continue to make changes through 2026.
Community Transit makes changes during regular service changes in March, June, September, and December. You can learn more about any upcoming service changes on the Service Changes web page.
Outlined below are the remaining changes outlined in the Transit Changes 2024 & Beyond plan. Please note that the frequencies and schedules are approximate. Sign up for Rider Alerts to get updates about changes.
In 2025 and 2026 we will continue to make changes to service. Many local bus routes will run more often and for longer hours. Community Transit will share more details about the specific routes as each service change approaches.

Thank you for the input you shared! Your input helped shape the final transit service plan.
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:
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:
Following Phase 2 outreach, we updated the transit service plan based on input from:
We received more than 100 comments, and we heard:
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 above.
