Fall 2024 Service Changes

C-TRAN is implementing a series of minor service changes in fall 2024. The primary goal of these changes is to ensure that at least 99% of scheduled trips are completed. Other focuses include adjusting service to match changes in travel patterns and ridership demand, improving the transit network around Mill Plain Transit Center, and continuing to grow ridership on future Vine corridors.

The following concepts will take effect on Sunday, September 8, 2024:

• Route 6: Realign route to serve Columbia Shores Boulevard; adjust eastbound service to VA Medical Center, serving Fourth Plain and St. Johns instead, while westbound trips continue to the existing location on the VA campus; schedule adjustments to VA Medical Center departure times to improve connections. The change will facilitate faster transfers from Route 6 to connecting routes, and provide new transit access to the Columbia Shores area.
   
• Route 30: Realign route to move off of 39th Street, instead serving 28th Street between 138th Avenue and 162nd Avenue; improve on-time performance due to faster trips in both directions. The change will provide better accessibility and travel times along 28th Street; highest-ridership locations on existing alignment will still be served by nearby stops.
  
• Route 31: Schedule adjustments to add one weekday a.m. northbound trip; add two Sunday a.m. trips to match Saturday service.
• Route 32: Schedule adjustments to add two Sunday a.m. trips to match Saturday service.
• Route 41: Expand service to all Route 92 stops along existing route.
• Route 48: Schedule adjustment to the last weekday trip to an earlier time to increase transfer opportunities at 99th Street Transit Center.
• Route 78: Schedule adjustments to add two a.m. eastbound trips and two p.m. westbound trips.
