Potential Impacts on Skagit Transit if Climate Commitment Act Is Repealed

If Initiative 2117 repeals parts of Washington’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA), Skagit Transit stands to lose $12.6 million over six years, creating a $16.8 million budget gap. Key services, like free youth rides, paratransit for disabled residents, and the transition to zero-emission buses, rely on this funding. Without it, Skagit Transit may face service cuts, delayed fleet upgrades, and halted infrastructure projects, severely impacting its ability to maintain and expand services.

Week Without Driving Challenge Sep 30 – Oct 6

Join the Week Without Driving challenge from September 30th to October 6th, aimed at raising awareness about the barriers faced by non-drivers. Skagit Transit will host organized ride-alongs to help participants explore public transportation. These events are a great way to learn about the benefits of public transit while promoting sustainable travel. We look forward to seeing you there!
