Sammamish Transit Plan
The City of Sammamish is excited to announce that City Council adopted the Sammamish Transit Plan on March 19th, 2024.
The Transit Plan is a document that will help guide the City in making transit related improvements and will also inform the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update. Through this process a list of projects has been developed. Our goal of the project list is to be realistic, implementable and to ultimately improve transit in Sammamish.
A public hearing on this draft plan was held during the March 5, 2024 City Council Meeting and continued to March 19th, 2024 City Council Meeting for additional public comment.
The adopted Transit Plan includes service, capital, and policy components, each playing an important role in guiding future transportation investments that align with the community’s vision and goals. All of this was developed through a robust, collaborative process with stakeholders and the community.
The Project Team engaged with the community in a variety of ways, including online, in-person, and in targeted groups. Your input assisted the Project Team in developing targeted strategies to improve transit services in Sammamish.
