Swift Gold Line
Community Transit is preparing a new investment to move more people through north Snohomish County by expanding transit while maintaining capacity for cars. This solution will extend the popular Swift bus rapid transit (BRT) system to north Snohomish County with Swift Gold Line. Expanding bus rapid transit offers a solution to increasing population and traffic that will benefit everyone, no matter how they get around.
Swift Gold Line brings you:
- A 15-mile bus rapid transit line between Everett, Marysville, and Arlington.
- Fast, frequent, and reliable service with buses every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15-20 minutes during early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
- More choices for traveling in the community and the region, including connections to future light rail service in Everett.
- An investment to move more people through the corridor while maintaining capacity for cars.
