Zero emissions by 2044 part of Community Transit's long-range plan

Community Transit’s new long-term plan, Envision 2050, includes new Swift routes, a transition to zero emissions and a revamped approach with light rail service coming to Snohomish County.

It spans 25 years and seeks to accomplish regional transit expansion, zero emissions and a broad goal to increase mobility.

The Community Transit plan is also influenced by regional changes. Snohomish County has seen significant growth with the population expected to cross 1 million around 2040.

Incoming light rail, including the Lynnwood extension, will bring big changes in the coming year. A light rail extension to Everett is also in its early stages, with the timeline currently pointing to the late 2030s for opening. Planning is expected to last until 2027.
