Community Transit is making changes to bus service on March 29. These changes include schedule changes on most routes as well as stop changes, longer service hours and more frequent service on some routes. Additionally, there will be bay changes at some transit centers. Visit Community Transit's service change webpage to learn more.
Why are we making these changes?
Community Transit has four service changes throughout the year: two larger service changes at the start of spring and fall, and two smaller service changes at the start of summer and winter.
These changes improve connections between buses, adjust schedules for actual travel times, and make Community Transit service more reliable. In some cases, these changes are in response to rider comments and requests.
