The Regional Mobility Grant program supports local efforts to improve transit mobility and reduce congestion on our most heavily traveled roadways. The program has provided $143.5 million to support local projects since 2006.


Funded local projects include:
  • New transit services that connect urban centers
  • Park and ride lots and expansions
  • New buses
  • Rush-hour transit service along congested corridors

Authorization for the Regional Mobility Grant program is supported in statute by RCW 47.66.030.

Project Updates

New park and ride facilities now open to the public!


Skagit Transit
Grant funds were used for the design and construction of a 365-stall park and ride facility, complete with passenger shelters, security lighting, fencing, signage and a bus pad in Burlington near I-5 and State Route 11.



Clark County
Grant funds were used to design, acquire the land and construct a park and ride facility near NE 10th Ave at NE 139th St in Vancouver near I-5 and I-205 in Clark County. The project includes a minimum of 470 stalls, at least three bus bays, street access to the park and ride, sidewalks, landscaping, a bus-only entrance lane and a traffic signal optimalization and transit priority system.




Double decker buses


Community Transit

A grant awarded to Community Transit is paying for 23 new double decker buses to replace standard 40 and 60 foot buses and increase passenger capacity on overcrowded routes by at least 40 percent. The added capacity also will reduce vehicle footprint on busy roads.
