The program captures the heart-tugging story of her role as
a bus driver during the pandemic while caring for her teen daughter and other
family members who live outside of her home.<br />
<br />
Tiffany is especially excited
for people to learn about what a day in the life of a driver is like. "I
take so much pride in my job, so I was really thrilled to be part of this
experience and so was my daughter Kipani," she said. </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Community
Transit temporarily suspended the collection of fares in March and asked all
riders to board and exit through the middle and rear doors. This was done to
allow for physical distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 as
recommended by public health officials.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">During
this time, we saw an increase in “non-destination” riders, many of whom shared
with us that they were unsheltered and did not have access to hand-washing
facilities, sanitizer or face coverings.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">To support
the health of these and all our transit riders, several agencies joined
Community Transit to host a "pop-up" event at Everett Station in May to
connect unsheltered people to community resources and personal protection
equipment. The event was held in a parking lot close to Everett Station where
agencies had set up pop-up tents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">People
who stopped by the event were offered health screenings, information resources
on shelter and food, hygiene kits (including face coverings and hand sanitizer),
and information on ORCA LIFT, the reduced transit fare program available to
income-eligible residents. Participants were also provided information on how
to ride transit safely during the pandemic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Transit employees made contact with more than 60 unsheltered people, and
directed many of them from our buses to the outreach area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Management, Human Services, and Sheriff's Office).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

evaluating the need for more pop-up events in the future. Meanwhile, fares on
all Community Transit service resume July 1 and the agency will continue to support

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past week we have witnessed a passionate response across the nation and within the communities we serve to a pervasive, persistent and destructive pattern of systemic injustice. The death of George Floyd is the most recent tragedy of the injustice of racism and the abuse of power. Intolerance in general, and intolerance toward African Americans in particular, is perpetuating a loathsome practice of racism and inequity for African Americans in this country. Together with the family, friends, and community, we mourn the unjust death of George Floyd.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many within the communities we serve may be experiencing pain, grief, and mental and emotional fatigue. We want to acknowledge that there is an additional layer of stress, fear, trauma and perhaps a feeling of the need to bury these feelings and go about business as usual for African American people in our community. To those feeling this way, we see you and we acknowledge your pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At Community Transit, we are committed to bringing together and supporting employees and community members of every race and background. This commitment is outlined very clearly through our Core Values, most notably <b>Equity & Inclusion</b> and <b>Mutual Respect</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our goal is to serve all in our community equitably. We respect, value and celebrate our employees and our customers as unique individuals with equal worth. As a service provider, we consistently seek opportunities to better meet the needs of all in our workforce and in our community so they may reach their full potential. As an employer, we are deeply committed to equal opportunity and do not tolerate discrimination in any form in our workplaces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For all of our employees, please remember that we have Employee Engagement staff ready to listen and an Employee Assistance Program that provides emotional, financial and legal support for all our employees and dependents. Please reach out if you need help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8px; margin-bottom: 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You have my commitment and that of the entire leadership team that we will continue to work to ensure each and every one of our employees and the community members we serve feels supported and respected at all times. We will use our Core Values to guide us as we seek to listen, to understand, and to do better. <b>We can always do better</b>. We are learning and are always open to feedback. We are here for each and every one of you. As you may engage in discussion and reflection in the coming days, please model our Core Values as we work together to make progress toward an ever more equitable future for all. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Two weeks into Governor Jay Inslee’s “Stay Healthy, Stay Home” proclamation, overall ridership on buses had decreased by approximately 70 percent.<br />
<br />
Since April 1, ridership levels have remained steady at about 11,000 riders (29% of normal levels) each weekday, 7,500 (60% of normal levels) on Saturdays and 6,000 (67% of normal levels) on Sundays.<br />
<br />
However, looking at our ridership levels map which compares February 2020 to April 2020, the decreases in ridership vary widely across our county. According to Roland Behee, Community Transit’s Director of Planning, the changes in ridership correspond to different ridership groups and the types of service available in each area.<br />

I asked Roland for some insights into the patterns we’re seeing in transit use during this unprecedented time.<br />
<br />
<b>What routes have seen the lowest change in ridership?</b><br />
<br />
Our <i>Swift </i>Bus Rapid Transit and rural routes have maintained the highest percentage of ridership. Prior on-board surveys and socioeconomic analysis have found that rural routes serve areas with limited travel options that can be supportive of transit ridership. <i>Swift </i>service, on the other hand, runs through areas of higher population density with many popular destinations along the corridors. We also know that many <i>Swift </i>riders in the past have reported that many do not own cars, so it remains a very convenient travel mode with more frequent service than other routes.<br />
<br />
<b>What about ridership on routes that connect to our core, higher-frequency service?</b><br />
<br />
With the service reductions, Community Transit has tried to maintain service coverage so individuals in all of our communities can still use transit to meet their essential needs. Moreover, many of these routes allow transfers to and from our <i>Swift </i>service, which remains at almost 10-minute frequencies and provides access to some of the County’s most popular areas.<br />
<br />
<b>And what about commuter-focused routes to King County?</b><br />
<br />
Since the University of Washington closed and many downtown Seattle workers have been asked to work from home, these routes have seen the biggest difference compared to normal ridership levels. Even now, though, we know people need to travel to fulfill their essential roles and we’re seeing approximately 425 riders per day traveling on these routes. It’s important to remember that we are accommodating for physical distancing on our buses and providing options for riders may not have any other way to get to their employment, go food shopping, or pick up their children from childcare. Moving forward we’re looking at options for service to match ridership demand while always keeping the safety of our customers and drivers as our number one priority.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Washington State’s phased reopening plan will likely result in incremental increases in transit use. <a href="https://www.communitytransit.org/subscribe" target="_blank">Please subscribe to rider alerts</a> or follow us on social media for updates about possible changes in service levels.

Thanks to your wonderful drivers, I now navigate five days a week (and sometimes more) successfully! I can even go to Puyallup and Tacoma on an enjoyable bus ride (seems like an adventure!) to visit family.<br />
<br />
I work at Haggens in Lake Stevens and I'm a cashier. Your drivers are thoughtful and take good care of me-- without them I couldn't keep my job. I've worked for Haggens since 1997. It's like my second home. Without Community Transit, I wouldn't have my job.<br />
<br />
Again, thank you for taking care of me during this time and during normal times. You are amazing!”<br />

your fellow riders and your bus driver. If you can, take a moment to say thank
you to your bus driver, even from six feet away. Wednesday March 18 is Transit
Driver Appreciation Day and I hope you will join me in expressing our deep
gratitude to our drivers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our
ongoing commitment to providing a safe ride for both our customers and our
employees is our top priority. In addition to our weekly cleaning practices, we
continue to disinfect all buses daily using a backpack sprayer and spray down
all hard surfaces with the disinfectant Virex II 256, specifically to address
COVID-19.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We ask that all riders partner with us in
preventing the spread of coronavirus by following this guidance:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least
20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and
after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Hand sanitizer with at
least 60% alcohol will do if soap and water are not available.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw
tissue in the trash and wash your hands.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes with
unwashed hands to avoid transferring germs.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Clean and disinfect frequently used surfaces, like
counters, light switches and doorknobs.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Stay home when you are sick and avoid close
contact with others.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As our
ridership has declined, this has naturally allowed for more space between
riders. We will continue to monitor ridership daily and are working to ensure,
to the best of our ability, that we are able to provide the ongoing
transportation service that our customers need. We remain committed to
providing current service levels as long as we are able to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Community Transit's web app, BusFinder, was introduced in the spring of 2014. It was the agency’s first app, allowing customers to access real-time information to help plan trips and locate our buses</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Since then, technology on our buses has improved and the data provided is more accurate. Our customers have asked for (and need) better web experiences, visually and functionally, to get from where they are to where they want to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">With all this in mind, we've rebuilt BusFinder from the ground up and now everyone can give it a test drive on <a href="http://communitytransit.org/">communitytransit.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The BETA testing period kicks off today, Thursday February 20 and will last 4-6 weeks to gather feedback and identify bugs. <a href="http://www.communitytransit.org/busfinder" target="_blank">We invite you to put BusFinder BETA through its paces and tell us what you think!</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are a total of 25 enhancements made to BusFinder and you can read all about them (and check out the FAQs) at <a href="http://communitytransit.org/busfinderbeta">communitytransit.org/busfinderbeta</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<div style="font-family: "calibri light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The video snippet below shows how some key enhancements look on BusFinder BETA (<b>Note</b>: the video has been sped up for this example-- buses will not be blinking on the map!)</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: "calibri light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Buses on the map indicate that the bus is transmitting "live," real-time data.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: "calibri light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Data refreshes every 30 seconds, resulting in the buses moving on the map.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Your current location is shown as the shaded circle (as long as your location services activated on your device.)</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Buses showing real-time data have a green "LIVE" icon in its route listing. To see the route from end-to-end with more information, just click on the ">".</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We are <i>very</i> excited about this new BusFinder BETA and hope it brings useful, easy to understand, timely information to help make your bus ride better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So, what do you think? Will you try BusFinder BETA? How does it compare with other transit apps? Tell us in the comments!</span></div>

Students without a guardian and experiencing homelessness
have difficulty connecting with needed support during the winter break from
school. While other students look forward to time off from classes, these kids
experience time off from the security of a warm building, support programs, and
predictable meal times.<o:p></o:p></div>

Everett Public Schools’ Kids in
Transition (KIT) program helps homeless youth attend school without barriers
or interruption. The KIT program identifies students experiencing homelessness and are unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. </div>

This holiday season, for the fourth year in a row, Community Transit and DSHS
employees organized a Giving Tree program to gather donated gifts for KIT
students. Employees took tags from “giving trees” located in shared workspaces
and purchased items listed on the tags, including gifts, warm clothing and
hygiene items.</div>

According to Shepherd, students return from break and share
details with their counselors about the gifts they received in their backpack.
“This is such a huge impact in their lives,” Shepherd said. Sometimes students
have a hard time believing the gift and hygiene necessities are for them.<o:p></o:p></div>

Community Transit's Giving Tree program has been going since 2010, and every year employees look forward to
contributing and volunteering, affirming two of Community Transit’s
Core Values:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Teamwork:</b> Agency employees worked together on lunch
breaks and off-hours to purchase items and wrap gifts for the Giving Tree
program to benefit KIT students. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Equity and Inclusion:</b> The Giving Tree donations were
provided to vulnerable teens in our community dealing with challenges accessing
resources. Employees wanted the teens to have the same opportunity as other
students to experience holiday cheer, regardless of their living situation.</blockquote>

interpretive signs that tell about wetlands and wildlife. The group hiked two

picnic lunch. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Oct. 7-11 is Customer Service Appreciation Week! Community Transit has several teams of employees who directly serve our customers every day.<br />
<br />
<b>Drivers and Road Supervisors</b><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Drivers and supervisors are the true "face" of Community Transit, in the field every day to help people -- whether they are customers or not -- get from where they are to where they want to be. <span id="goog_448345873"></span><br />
<br />
Whether behind the wheel or wearing their red jacket and cap, drivers and supervisors are literally where the rubber meets the road to make travel easy for all.<br />
<br />
<b>Vanpool Coordinators</b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;">A first-rate team of five manages all 430 vans in
our fleet. They match new riders with new or existing vanpools, help vanpool customers with emergencies as they arise, and coordinate the scheduling of needed maintenance.</span></div>
<br />
Vanpool coordinators make commuting to work easier for everyone in Snohomish County, because the vanpools they serve keep about 13.4 miles of cars off the road every day -- a line of cars that would stretch from the 128th St. exit to the Northgate Mall exit on I-5!<br />

<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">The RideStore, located at Lynnwood Transit Center, is where customers go to plan trips, retrieve lost and found items, and purchase or reload ORCA cards. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">RideStore staff also answer some of the phone calls to the ORCA customer service line, manage distribution of materials (such as Bus Plus books and ORCA cards) to offsite locations, and are responsible for the physical Rider Alerts that are posted at bus stops and transit centers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">Stop by the RideStore this week to say hello to the staff!</span><br />

<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">Our Service Ambassadors are a mighty team of eight who pair up to ride our buses and assist customers with their immediate needs, right in the moment. They perform fare payment checks on <i>Swift</i>, assist customers with ticket vending machines, and answer all kinds of questions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">When you spot a Service Ambassador in their distinctive blue jacket, you know that you'll be able to get whatever information you need about our service.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">The Customer Care team are the folks who answer the phone when you dial (425) 353-RIDE (7433). They take more than 600 calls in an average week, logging customer comments on everything from bus drivers to route suggestions to the agency's plans for future expansion. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">Customer Care staff often assist customers with planning a specific trip, helping them find the most efficient way to get where they want to be across whatever transportation mode is best suited to that person.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1f497d;">If you call (425) 353-RIDE (7433) any weekday from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. you can be sure that the Customer Care staff will be able to help you plan a trip, answer your questions, or ensure that your comments are routed to the appropriate Community Transit employee.</span></div>

<b>Customer service happens all year long</b><br />
We hope that you take a moment to show appreciation for a Customer Service professional this week, but customer service touches us every day. Sometimes we give it and sometimes we receive it, but great customer service is a skill and an art that makes life a lot easier in very important ways.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Community
Transit riders noticed a new look to their rider alerts today. The agency has
launched a new partially automated alert system that provides riders with
information on delays and other service impacts in real time, during all hours
of service.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

in real time, during all hours of service. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The
result will be more alerts providing more information about what is going on
with your bus while it is in service. This can help you make better choices
about your daily commute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The new
real-time alerts report trip delays of 10 minutes or more, as well as canceled
trips, reroutes that miss certain bus stops, and other issues that are
impacting buses on the road, or scheduled to be on the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Once created, alerts
are simultaneously posted on the agency’s website, Twitter page, and sent to
subscribers via email or SMS text, as well as provided to third-party apps such
as Google Maps or OneBusAway. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">While alerts are sent to those apps, it is up to
developers whether to display them or not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>What’s the
difference?</b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The new alert
system is a huge improvement over the old system due to the process. Rather
than using administrative staff to create alerts based on information sent out
from the agency’s two dispatch bases, the new bus alerts are created directly
by dispatchers. As soon as they get information from the field, dispatchers use
a new tool to select from several drop-down menus to generate an alert. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This literally
cuts out the middle person. It also means real-time alerts look a bit different
than the old alerts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">They start with
the route number and time the bus leaves the first stop so riders can easily
tell if it is their trip. The alerts then identify the direction of the trip by
destination, and the reason for the delay or cancelation. These alerts are
produced any time a bus is impacted, seven days a week, 365 days a year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Alerts about
future impacts due to planned construction, parades or holidays will continue
to be produced by staff, as they may require more complex explanations or
images. On Community Transit’s Rider Alerts webpage, <a href="http://www.communitytransit.org/Alerts">www.communitytransit.org/Alerts</a>,
the two alert types are called Real-Time Alerts and Rider Information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">How to get alerts</span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If you already
get Community Transit’s electronic rider alerts, you don’t have to do anything
to get the real-time alerts. If you don’t, here are three ways to get them:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Email/text
– Sign up for alerts to be sent by email or SMS text.</b> Visit </span><a href="http://www.communitytransit.org/Subscribe" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">www.communitytransit.org/Subscribe</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
to select the routes you ride most frequently. Whenever an alert affecting that
route is sent, you will get a notification. Because more alerts are being sent
out in this new system, choose your route preferences carefully. If you already
subscribe, you may want to adjust your preferences to avoid getting too many
alerts.</span></li>

Washington’s vanpools were actually the USA’s first; 40 years later, Community Transit’s program includes the 11th largest vanpool fleet in the country. (See below for more interesting vanpool statistics.)<br />

This February, we officially reached 400 vanpool groups, serving 2,835 people that average 48 round-trip miles per day.<br />
<br />
A team of five Vanpool Fleet Coordinators work with the groups, processing payments, training drivers, and coordinating scheduled -- and unscheduled -- maintenance needs. The vans’ insurance, gasoline, and maintenance are all provided by Community Transit.<br />

Customer feedback is an important part of the vanpool program; customer input even helps to choose which new vans to purchase!<br />
<br />
Insight being gathered from vanpool customers now will help decide how to best serve customers of the future. Commuting in and through Snohomish County will change significantly in the next 5-10 years and our Vanpool program will be there, continuing to help people get where they want to be.<br />

Happy Vanniversary... here's to another 40 successful years!<br />

Today is National Get on Board Day to recognize the value of
transit</h4>
Ask a bus or train rider why they choose that mode of travel
and you’ll get many different answers. Cost savings. Convenience. Not having to
deal with traffic or parking. Less stress for their commute.
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most major cities and even many rural ones have some form of
public transportation. The value of that service is sometimes expressed as a
lifeline for those with no other travel option, or a choice for people who
simply don’t want to drive every day. Usually, it’s both.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2018, Community Transit provided 10.7 million trips on
its buses, vanpools and DART paratransit vehicles. That’s more than 33,000
times a day someone had to get somewhere and chose Community Transit to get
them there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because about 70 percent of our riders are “choice riders”
who have access to a car but chose transit, we like to say that without our
service, there would be another 23,000 cars on Snohomish County roads every
day. Mitigating even worse traffic congestion is one of the values transit
provides to everyone in our community.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Snohomish County is growing like crazy. More than 10,000
people a year are forecast to move here over the next 20 years. That’s the
equivalent of a new city the size of Snohomish added each year!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the perfect time to add more transit as we want every
one of those new residents to consider not adding another car to the day’s
commute.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to voter approval of Proposition 1 in 2015, we are
increasing transit service in the county. By 2022, Community Transit will have expanded
its bus service by 40 percent over 2016 levels. This summer, we will be
engaging the public on a how to redesign our bus service to integrate with Link
light rail when it gets to Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood in 2024.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One key to that transit expansion is adding to our <i>Swift</i> bus rapid transit network. When the <i>Swift</i> Green Line launched a month ago, it quickly became the second most popular route in our system, behind the <i>Swift</i> Blue Line. Combined, those two routes carry more than 7,000 people a day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are downsides to this expansion – impacts from the
construction of some projects, being stopped behind a bus as it boards
passengers. If you’re stopped behind a bus for 20 seconds thinking about
blowing your horn, consider this: 23,000 more cars on our roads every day,
10,000 more cars on I-5 every day, and 10,000 more cars added each year without
transit. Even if you don't use the service, you are benefiting.</div>

What do you value most about transit?</div>

Ambassadors are Community Transit crew-members that offer customer service,
face-to-face while riding on buses and at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i>
stations, in addition to checking fares. Often they can be seen assisting
riders using ticket vending machines or ORCA readers and answering questions
about bus connections. Additional ambassadors were hired to provide service across
both <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> <a href="https://www.communitytransit.org/swiftblue">Blue</a> and Green lines,
increasing the crew from four ambassadors to eight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

first week of service, ambassadors are actively looking for riders who are new

systems in their goal to help minimize barriers and confusion that might go
along with learning a new bus system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ambassadors aren’t the only agency employees greeting riders this week. There
are also <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> Street Teams assisting
customers along <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> Green Line

riding on the bus and visiting <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> stations.
In addition, team members gather feedback from riders at key locations, such as

Bus counters show that the first three days of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> Green Line service saw 1,218,
1,818 and 1,718 riders from Sunday through Tuesday (what’s with the 18s?). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Sunday’s numbers were high for a half-day of service as many people attending
the grand opening celebration boarded at the Dumas stations near McCollum Park
to test out the new Green Line.</div>

With about 1,800 boardings each of the first two weekdays, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> Green Line ridership is matching
the pace of Blue Line’s first week of service in late 2009. Blue Line ridership
doubled in its first year as people learned how quick and easy it was to commute
on a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> bus.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
At “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i> Corner”
on Airport Road & Highway 99, where the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Swift</i>
Blue and Green lines meet, many people are seen making that connection from one
BRT route to the other. This morning, one woman got off a northbound Blue Line
bus to connect to the northbound Green Line. She said she works at Paine Field
and was ecstatic that this new connection saves her at least 10 minutes each
way on her work commute.</div>
