What is the Transit Development Plan (TDP)?

The TDP forecasts Community Transit’s finances and outlines the services we plan to provide. The TDP:

  • Summarizes accomplishments from the past calendar year
  • Documents agency goals and strategies for the current and following five years
  • Identifies needed resources to accomplish those goals
  • Provides a financial forecast

The TDP is required by Washington State, Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.58.2795. Community Transit updates the plan annually and submits to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).

Draft 2026-2031 Transit Development Plan

The Draft 2026–2031 Transit Development Plan focuses on improving transit service and preparing for future growth. Over the next six years, Community Transit plans to:

  • Improve the customer experience with safer, more reliable, and more accessible service.
  • Expand transit options by growing Swift bus rapid transit, Zip Shuttle, and local bus service.
  • Invest in long-term sustainability through updated facilities, cleaner technology, and responsible financial planning.
