Community Transit named Nashika Stanbro to lead the new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program.

The new program aims to align the agency’s policies, practices, and resources to provide equitable opportunities in Community Transit’s workforce and in the the agency's transportation services.

Community Transit is deeply committed to providing a safe experience for all riders and our employees.

Since the most effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19 is to wear a face covering to limit infected individuals from spreading the disease, mask usage will now be enforced on buses.

Community Transit will operate regular bus service on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The transit agency will operate buses on a Sunday schedule on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Community Transit will operate limited bus service on Thanksgiving Day and return to a regular schedule the following day, Friday, November 27th.

Community Transit awarded 12 vans through the agency's Van GO vehicle grant program on November 5th.

The local nonprofit organizations who received the vans were chosen from over 30 groups who submitted applications.

Community Transit’s Proposed 2021 Budget will continue to prioritize safe travel for Snohomish County residents and includes an increase of approximately 4,000 hours of new service in 2021, a more moderate expansion than in previous years.

Community Transit will award up to 12 surplus 15-passenger vans, earmarked for auction, to local nonprofit organizations to further meet the demand for transportation. They seek qualified 501(c)3 organizations to apply.

Community Transit will operate on a Sunday bus schedule on Friday, July 3rd.

Also, passengers are reminded that fireworks are not allowed on Community Transit buses or properties. 

With guidance from public health officials, Community Transit has implemented new safety measures such as nightly disinfecting of all buses and paratransit vehicles, closing off some bus seats to allow better physical distancing between riders, and providing recommended personal protective equipment for drivers and employees.

Community Transit will begin collecting fares for Swift Blue and Swift Green bus rapid transit lines on Monday, June 1st. Unlike other Community Transit bus routes, Swift riders pay fares at Swift stations, not at the front of the bus.
