Services
Spokane Transit provides multiple services:
- Fixed Route. Buses run seven days a week over most of the service area, including local routes and commuter routes to outlying communities such as Cheney, Medical Lake, and Liberty Lake.
- Paratransit. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Spokane Transit provides accessible transportation to persons with disabilities within 3⁄4 miles (1 km) of every fixed route. Additionally, all fixed route vehicles purchased after 1986 are accessible.
- Vanpool. A service which matches people traveling to or from similar locations and provides a publicly owned van at a fixed price per mile.
- Pass Programs. Spokane Transit provides multiple fare instruments, including employee, youth, and college passes. Eastern Washington University, for example, purchases a very low-cost pass for all students, staff and faculty.
- Shuttles. Spokane Transit operates two shuttles, one between the downtown and the Spokane Arena, and the other from downtown to the hospital district. Shuttle fares are half price.
- Bicycles. Bike racks are available on all routes, except for streetcars operating on the downtown to Spokane Arena route.
- Park and Rides. Spokane Transit operates several strategically located park-and-ride facilities throughout its service area, and has cooperative agreements with other property owners to allow parking access to transit services.
