  • Changes to Fixed Route - June 11th

    ​Beginning June 11, 2023, we’re making a change to Route 75 and minor ā€‹ā€‹changes to Route 50 and Route 71X

    Route 50

    The route name will change from 50 Gooseberry Pt to 50 Lummi Nation. The route name will remain as 50 Downtown when headed to Bellingham Station. There will not be any changes to the schedule or where the route goes.

    Route 71X Cordata/WCC

    There are minor time changes for the 6:00 am, 7:45 am, and 12:30 pm weekday inbound trips (toward Cordata/WCC)

    Route 75 Birch Bay/Blaine

    • The route will now include service to Birch Bay Village and C St in Blaine
    • The route will no longer serve H St between Peace Portal Dr and 6th St
    • The flex service area will be reduced and limited to one flex per trip
    • WTA will begin offering paratransit service in Birch Bay/Blaine along Route 75
    • There are minor changes to the times in the schedule

    To learn more about these changes,  visit www.ridewta.com/changes​, pick up a new transit guide, or give us a call (360) 676-7433.

  • Changes to Paratransit - June 11th

    Important: Changes to Paratransit Scheduling

    We want to inform you about some upcoming changes to our Paratransit service. Starting June 11, 2023, riders will have more flexibility in scheduling their rides based on their destination and time requirements.

    Now, you can choose between two options when booking your ride:

    1. Scheduling to your destination time: If you have a specific appointment at the doctor’s office or any other destination that requires you to arrive at a certain time, you can book your ride accordingly. This will ensure that you reach your destination on time.

    2. Scheduling to a 30-minute pick-up window: If you are going somewhere and don’t need to arrive by a specific time, you can choose a shorter pick-up window of 30 minutes. This gives you more flexibility in planning your trip and reduces your wait time.

    To continue providing the appropriate level of scheduled timed rides, WTA will be changing the type of ride that qualifies for a Will Call. Starting June 11, only riders going home from a medical appointment will be eligible to request a Will Call. Riders traveling from other destinations such as the grocery store, hair salon, park, library, museum, restaurant, City Hall, etc., will need to schedule their trip with a pickup or ready time.

    If you have any questions or need further clarification about these upcoming changes, please do not hesitate to contact us at 360-733-1144.​

    New Service: Route 75 Birch Bay / Blaine

    We’re excited to begin offering paratransit service in Birch Bay / Blaine along Route 75. This means that Paratransit rides can be booked to and from any location within three-quarters of a mile of Route 75 but Paratransit eligibility is required.​
