Big changes ahead as Community Transit mulls $254M budget

EVERETT — Community Transit is in the process of getting its budget settled for next year, and with it, potentially big increases in transit service in Snohomish County.

Its proposed 2025 budget is $254 million for operating costs. Separately, the agency has a $206 million capital budget for large, long-term projects.

Community Transit has reorganized itself around light rail, which finally opened in Snohomish County at the end of August. It took away many of its Snohomish County to Seattle bus routes, replacing them with more ways to access light rail in Lynnwood and Shoreline.

The agency also launched its new bus rapid transit line — Swift Orange — earlier this year. The route cuts through the middle of Lynnwood.
