  • DART Paratransit Rider's Guide
    Dial-A-Ride Transportation Rider’s Guide Community Transit’s DART Paratransit Service DART provides paratransit service for people who cannot access or use Community Transit’s regular fixed-route bus service because of their disabilities. DART paratransit service meets the rules for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means DART can take you to any destination within 3/4 of a mile of a Community Transit local bus route during the hours that the local bus route runs in that area. A DART trip will take about as long as that bus ride. DART is like a regular bus in that you will be riding with other people, but you need to call ahead for your trips. DART paratransit can provide service to your destination and also travels to places where you can catch a regular bus or transfer to another paratransit vehicle. 1 (425) 347-5912 DART Information DART contact information ......................5 The Americans with Disabilities Act..............6 Eligibility rules . 7 How to apply for DART services.................8 Trip purpose .................................10 When and where DART operates............... 11 Requesting trips . 12 Confirmations & pick-up times ................. 14 Trip schedules ...............................15 The DART bus waits five minutes...............16 Multiple trips.................................16 Cancelling rides.............................. 17 Subscription rides ............................ 18 DART fare ...................................20 Passenger Responsibilities Connecting with other paratransit systems

In 1979 voters passed a 0.3 percent sales tax to fund public transportation, which also formed the PTBA. Pierce Transit is currently funded through a combination of sales tax revenues, fares and grants, as further detailed in Section 9: Operating Revenues and Expenditures. Pierce Transit provides public transport services in the urbanized portions of Pierce County, as illustrated in Figure 1-1. This is an area covering 292 square miles that generally conforms to the county’s growth management boundary and contains an estimated 70 percent of the county population. The service area includes the incorporated cities and towns of Auburn, Edgewood, Fife, Fircrest, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Milton, Pacific, Puyallup, Ruston, Steilacoom, Tacoma, and University Place. It also includes multiple population centers within unincorporated Pierce County.

  • Long Range Transit Plan 2016 - 2036 Kitsap Transit Long Range Transit Plan 1
    Long Range Transit Plan 2016 - 2036 Kitsap Transit Long Range Transit Plan 1 Executive Summary The Long Range Transit Plan (LRTP) is designed as a planning tool to guide Kitsap Transit in examining service needs over the next 20 years. The plan includes sections on comprehensive goals and policies, transit service characteristics as of 2016, local community conditions in the service area including information on planned major developments, information on transit centers and Transit Oriented Development (TOD), routed bus service standards and guidelines, capital project needs for the next 20 years, a fleet replacement plan and financial outlook. The Plan also includes the latest Transit Development Plan (TDP) as required by the State of Washington, five local service analysis reports for Routed service and the Passenger Only Ferry Plan (POF). One of the most important aspects of the Plan is the Transit Corridors Vision Map found in Figure 1. This map outlines service improvement focus areas with an emphasis on providing services to Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) by connecting them along designated transit corridors. The Map and the Plan may be adjusted as needed by the Kitsap Transit Board of Commissioners to reflect the needs of an individual jurisdiction, Kitsap Transit or the Public Transportation Benefit Area (PBTA) service area as a whole. The service analysis reports as found in Appendix E can be adjusted as needed to reflect changing service needs. Each of the plans features a detailed examination of bus route characteristics leading to recommended service improvements. The East Bremerton service analysis report was implemented in late 2015.

  • Link Connections NORTHGATE
    Moving you to and beyond April 2020 Link Connections NORTHGATE Connecting buses to Link light rail in 2021 In late 2019, Sound Transit and Community Transit heard from riders about our ideas to reroute some buses and connect Snohomish County riders to Link light rail at Northgate starting in 2021. We updated our service proposal based on your feedback and would like to hear from you again by May 6, 2020. Learn more and share your feedback northgate.participate.online What we heard • Many riders are willing to transfer from bus to light rail to improve the speed and reliability of their commute. • Riders want more frequent bus service to reduce transfer times at Northgate. • Riders want more options to reach their destinations. Our service proposal • Increased trip frequency and longer operating hours for select routes, especially in the evening. • More choices for riders to transfer to light rail at Northgate or continue to downtown Seattle by bus. Sound Transit 510 series • Maintaining direct bus service from Everett to downtown Seattle via ST Express Route 510; routes 511, 512 and 513 will connect to Link at Northgate instead. Community Transit 400 and 800 series • Community Transit 400 series bus routes will maintain direct service to downtown Seattle. • Community Transit routes 810, 821, 860, 871 and 880 will connect to Link at Northgate; Route 821 service will replace Route 855 at Lynnwood Transit Center.

Creating efficiencies by integrating systems By further integrating the planning and operations of our transit agencies, we can create efficiencies as new lines open and provide innovative services that better serve the needs of a growing region. Dow Constantine King County Executive Sound Transit Board Chair Puget Sound Regional Council Board In June, I announced a new effort to bring together transit agencies in the Puget Sound Region to better integrate our collective projects and services. That’s important to me in my dual roles as elected King County Executive, which makes me the head of King County Metro Transit, and as appointed Sound Transit Board Chair. People across the Central Puget Sound have long embraced public transportation, creating local transit agencies to serve their communities Metro and Sound Transit Ridership 2006 - 2013 – Metro, Community Transit, Everett Transit, Kitsap Transit and Pierce Transit. For more than 40 years, Metro has served an increasing number 150M of people in King County with a growing array of innovative public transportation services. Today Metro provides 400,000 passenger trips every weekday – over 118 million trips in 2013. 120M Then Sound Transit was created by the state legislature almost 20 years ago with a unique mission: To complement local transit service 90M with high-capacity transit (HCT) connecting the region’s employment centers.
