Specialties
Community Transit is responsible for providing transportation options for Snohomish County residents, including bus and paratransit service, vanpool and ridesharing options.
History
Established in 1976.
For more than 30 years, Community Transit has grown from a small, local bus service into a leader in providing transportation options for the Puget Sound region. From a thriving vanpool program to Swift, the state’s first bus rapid transit line, Community Transit has been at the forefront of helping Snohomish County residents to think transit first.
Community Transit began service Oct. 4, 1976, after voters in Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Brier, Woodway, Marysville and Snohomish agreed to form their own local transit agency. With 18 leased GMC buses, Community Transit began serving seven routes in those communities.
After beginning with non-existent bus stops, the agency now serves more than 2,100 stops, including 20 park and ride lots with more than 6,100 parking stalls, including the four-story Mountlake Terrace Transit Center which opened in 2009.
