EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br /> Page 101 <br />infrastructure elements, such as center-running lanes and downtown service, are under <br />evaluation and will continue to be refined through design and interagency coordination. <br />• The Swift Silver Line, scheduled to begin service in 2037, will enhance regional connectivity in <br />South Everett. The specific configuration and coordination with other Swift lines, such as the <br />Green Line, will be addressed in future service planning led by Community Transit, in <br />coordination with Everett and regional partners. <br />• Regular bus service will be expanded where land use supports it; speed and reliability <br />improvements will be implemented along both Regular Bus and Frequent corridors; and the <br />hours regular bus service operates (both on weekdays and weekends) will be increased. <br />• Fleet type will see a shift towards a more standardized fleet of 40-foot regular buses and 60-foot <br />BRT buses. A small fleet of 30-foot and Double Decker buses may be maintained depending on <br />operational need. <br />• Community Transit’s goal is to transition its fleet to zero emissions by 2044. <br />Sound Transit <br />The Everett Link Extension will add 16 miles of light rail and six new stations connecting Everett to the <br />regional light rail network and changing the way people connect to the city. The project is currently in its <br />planning phase, which runs through 2027. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared <br />and is under review. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement includes preferred station and <br />alignment alternatives, which currently includes six stations. A provisional seventh station is funded for <br />planning, but not currently for design or construction. The routes and stations that are part of the <br />current Draft Environmental Impact Statement are detailed in Figure 9 below.
