, in 1992. The only city in the county that maintains its own transit system is Everett
, the county seat (Everett Transit
), though Community Transit does run some buses there.
Community Transit approved a major service change and 15 percent service cut in June 2010 to deal with increasing budget problems. The change included a reduction or cancellation of service on many lines and the suspension of all Sunday and Holiday Service. The agency is planning on an additional 20 percent service cut to take effect in February 2012.
. These routes, covering a service area of 3367 square kilometres (1,300 sq mi) serve most communities within the county, with the exception of certain smaller communities on U.S. Highway 2
east of Gold Bar
.
The vast majority of routes operate from the early morning hours until the evening, with reduced schedules on weekends and holidays. Certain routes, such as routes that travel to Boeing
's Everett facility, operate only in a peak direction and/or only at certain times (to Boeing in the morning, away from Boeing in the afternoon), while other routes can have variations depending on the time of day. Usually, but not always, these 'alternate' routes have a distinct route number to help commuters differentiate (e.g., the 200/201/202 route, which takes one of three paths at different times of day). However, some routes, like the 280 route which serves Granite Falls, simply add on extra sections at various times of day without changing the route number. This is usually the case when the additional routing would not otherwise interfere with the normal route.
. Most of these routes operate in a peak-flow capacity, taking passengers from various communities to Seattle, Bellevue
, or the University District
(University of Washington
) in the morning hours and bringing them back in the afternoon and evening. A few routes, under the direction of Sound Transit, provide round trip service throughout the day to major destinations in the county, such as Everett
or Lynnwood
. Most commuter buses serve one of the 20 park and ride lots within the county as well as limited stops within the communities they originate from.

service. These allow for more flexibility than traditional fixed-bus routes in that the riders—who also take turns driving the van—decide their own routing, thus allowing non-traditional commuters, including those without access to fixed routes or those whose transport needs are not met by fixed routes, to still utilize transit services. In exchange for a monthly fee that varies depending on mileage and size of van, Community Transit provides the vehicle, maintenance, fuel, insurance, and other miscellaneous needs. With 333 vans as of August 2007, the vanpool service is the third largest in the United States.
