Following a personal call from Federal Transit Administration Acting Administrator K. Jane Williams, Community Transit CEO Emmett Heath pushed the button to accept a $43.2 million grant to complete funding for the Swift Green Line on Monday, April 9th.

Crews will continue construction work on the Swift Green Line bus stations from April 2nd to 8th, in and around Mill Creek.

Motorists can expect delays at certain times.

Crews broke ground at the intersection of Bothell-Everett Highway and Trillium Boulevard the week of March 12th in preparation for underground utility work.

New Swift Green Line bus stations will be built here on both sides of Bothell-Everett Highway.

Community Transit is upgrading the ticket vending machines at all 32 Swift Blue Line stations to allow for multi-rider purchases. Also, the new machines have a more intuitive screen flow and are easier to see in bright light.

Eighty-four high school students without a legal guardian or a stable place to stay over the winter break received a small dose of holiday cheer this week. Hygiene kits, warm clothing, gift cards and other presents were purchased by employees of Community Transit and the Everett Community Service Office of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) as part of their Giving Tree programs.

Each quarter, the Curb the Congestion and Smart Commuter Rewards programs recognize outstanding participants whose wise transportation choices reduce traffic-related congestion and pollution even though they don't commute by bus.

Community Transit will operate limited bus service on Thursday, November 23rd, (Thanksgiving Day) and the following day, Friday, November 24th.
