Last summer, community members from Everett to Arlington participated in Community Transit's first public comment phase for the Swift Gold Line project. This will be the agency's fourth Swift bus rapid transit (BRT) line and its first in north Snohomish County. The Swift Gold Line will operate between Everett Station and Smokey Point Transit Center in Arlington. We summarize the results so far and talk about what's next for Swift Gold Line at https://ctgo.org/4f32wiN

Are you an educator seeking innovative ways to engage your students? Community Transit has a program designed to teach transit basics in schools. Justine Locke, vice principal of Lynnwood High School, invited Natalie Lawrence, youth program strategist, to talk to students. Locke said, "We're thrilled to host these rider lessons. Students are eager to learn about transit options. This initiative is a significant step toward equity in our community." Learn more about CT's in-school programming and how it helps shape future public transit users and fosters community connections on our blog at https://ctgo.org/3NLbPIV

A proposal to lower reduced fares is available for the public to comment on. If approved by the Community Transit Board of Directors, the change would lower reduced fares from $1.25 to $1 for eligible people. Under the change, Community Transit would also accept the Subsidized Annual Pass, which allows qualifying people to ride at no cost. The comment period is open through Nov. 7. Visit https://ctgo.org/3XTbOaf to select from a variety of ways to provide your feedback.

Representative Rick Larsen visited our two operating bases this week. He got a briefing on our Sept. 14 service change and connection with Link light rail, next steps for advancing a new Swift Gold Line in north county, and upcoming microtransit pilot projects launching later this year in Arlington, Darrington, and Lake Stevens. Larsen also got an up-close look at our two zero-emission buses – a battery electric bus that will go into service soon and a hydrogen fuel cell bus that we are running through road and maintenance testing before it goes into service. We were able to thank Congressman Larsen for his ongoing support and brief him on how added bus frequency, new express routes, and increased transportation options he has advocated for are helping Snohomish County riders get from where they are to where they want to be.

We were excited to welcome Congressman Rick Larsen, Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and former CT board member, to our campuses yesterday. We had the opportunity to showcase our operations, discuss key agency priorities, and thank Congressman Larsen for his ongoing support. Larsen took a tour of our new Security Operations Center that is part of our expanded focus on security for our customers and staff. He also got to talk with our Transit Security Officers who are out in the field helping our operations run smoothly and safely. Community Transit is dedicated to ensuring a safe and welcoming experience for all.
