Potential Impacts on Skagit Transit if Climate Commitment Act Is Repealed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.

Special Gift from a Paratransit Rider

We would like to thank all our paratransit riders!
