Community Transit

Community Transit is the public transportation agency for Snohomish County, Washington, headquartered in Everett. Founded in 1976, the agency has grown from an initial fleet of 18 buses on 7 routes to a workforce of over 1,000 employees serving the broader Puget Sound region.

The agency's services include traditional bus routes connecting communities to Link light rail and Seattle, specialized paratransit for individuals with disabilities, and commuter vanpool programs. It also operates expanding bus rapid transit under the Swift brand and runs on-demand microtransit pilots, such as the Zip Shuttle, in partnership with local communities.

Operations span public transit and transit services, with a stated focus on safety and customer service. The organization emphasizes community partnership and tests new transportation solutions to address local needs and evolving travel patterns.
