Service Changes: September 15, 2019

On September 15, 2019, changes occurred to most schedules in the system. All route schedules have been updated.

Spokane Transit schedules service changes three times a year in order to keep the region�s transit system as convenient, accessible and efficient as possible.

Service Changes Included in the STA Moving Forward Plan

New South Hill Connections

  • Route 4 will connect the South Hill with the Northside via Downtown for Spokane Transit�s first in-seat cross-town connection. The new route will combine the routing of the 24, the 44 Grand, and the southern portion of the 45.
  • Route 144 will maintain service on Bernard and provide new commuter service between downtown Spokane and the new Moran Station coming this fall.

New West Plains Connections

  • Route 63 will connect Airway Heights to the West Plains Transit Center via Spokane International Airport and Flint Rd. This additional route completes the promised connection between West Plains cities without having to transfer in downtown Spokane.

New Transit Facilities Coming Later This Fall

  • Spokane Community College Transit Center will serve as the eastern endpoint of the future Central City Line and facilitate better connections for all routes serving Spokane Valley, Millwood and north/south Spokane.
  • Spokane Falls Station will move off-street to the western end of campus and include customer amenities such as real-time signage, shelters, and benches.
  • Moran Station will become the southern endpoint for Route 144, a new southside commuter express route, and Route 4, STA's new cross-town connection.

A summary of the changes and link to the revised schedules are provided below.
