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 2024-2029 Transit Development Plan
Community Transit riders will have access to more transit than ever before over the next six years. Riders will be able to connect to light rail, try out Zip rideshare service in new areas, travel swiftly across the county on the expanding Swift network, and ride one of Community Transit’s first zero emissions buses.

Each year, Community Transit updates the six-year TDP. The Draft 2024-2029 Transit Development Plan is focused on delivering excellent service and building the future with expanded transit options, including:
- Reimagining bus service to connect to light rail in Snohomish County and expanding access to frequent service.
- Expanding the Swift bus-rapid transit network with the new Swift Orange Line and Swift Blue Line extension, as well as planning for the future Swift Gold Line and Swift Green Line extension.
- Investing in innovative services like our Zip Alderwood Shuttle, with additional pilot programs in Arlington, Darrington, and Lake Stevens and other communities throughout Snohomish County.
- Testing battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric buses on the road to help determine a long-term strategy to transition the entire fleet of buses to zero emissions.
