Community Transit has crews preparing a section of the lot for the Swift Orange bus rapid transit line. The “rail on wheels” service is slated to start in 2024, in time for the Lynnwood Link light rail opening.
Swift features buses every 10 minutes during peak weekday hours with faster and less frequent stops thanks to fare payment prior to boarding. Community Transit already operates two Swift lines: Blue between Everett and Shoreline, and Green between Bothell and Boeing.
The Orange line will run 11 miles between McCollum Park and Edmonds College. It uses Highway 527, also called the Bothell-Everett Highway, 164th Street SE and 164th Street SW, 36th Avenue W, Alderwood Mall Boulevard, and 196th Street SW. There are 16 new stations on the route to get people to Alderwood mall, Edmonds College and the Lynnwood City Center light rail station, where peak service connects to Seattle with trains arriving every 8 minutes.
