As Link light rail expands north toward Snohomish County, Community Transit and Sound Transit are exploring bus service changes to connect riders with fast, reliable service to the University of Washington, downtown Seattle and other regional destinations.

Community Transit plans to hire 100 bus driver trainees by the end of 2020 to accommodate expansion of service and account for attrition.

Applicants do not need a Commercial Driver’s License to be hired as a bus driver trainee.

Community Transit will continue to improve service on September 22nd with additional Swift bus rapid transit trips early mornings and Saturdays, longer Sunday service hours, and better transit connections to improve the journey for riders.

These service additions will improve transit connections at Edmonds Station and Seaway Transit Center.

Community Transit recently won a 2019 VISION 2040 Award from the Puget Sound Regional Council for the new Swift Green Line rapid bus service.

This award recognizes innovative projects and programs that help ensure a sustainable future as the region grows.

Community Transit is hosting a job fair at its Everett administrative building from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday, July 20th.

The agency is expanding bus service in Snohomish County to meet the growing transportation needs of the communities it serves.

Two Community Transit drivers were honored this week with the agency’s prestigious Million Mile Award for safe driving.

The drivers qualified for the distinction by meeting strict National Safety Council guidelines for driving the equivalent of one million and two million miles without a preventable accident.

Community Transit hosted an award luncheon at the Lynnwood Convention Center on Tuesday, April 23rd, to recognize workplaces and commuters who made a difference by exploring commute options in exceptional ways.
