A Route that provides service to dedicated bus stops on a regular schedule, and can also “flex” up to 3/4 mile from its route onto approved roads to assist those who have difficulty accessing existing stops. This service is available to everyone; however, advance reservations are required.

• Please call Skagit Transit at (360) 757-4433 during service hours Monday through Saturday. We offer no flex route, or scheduling on our closed holidays.
• Flex stop reservations must be made on a previously determined safe location the day of, and at least one hour before the requested bus arrival. Since seating is limited, passengers will be boarded in a first come first served manner. All Skagit Transit buses are wheelchair accessible. If you plan to use a wheelchair or other mobility aid, please tell our staff member on the phone.
• When you are speaking with our dispatcher please tell them that you are a flex route rider, and you need to schedule a pick-up in east county. Please tell us the following: Your name, the address closest to the preferred pickup location, and the time range that you need to catch the bus (your approximate pick up time will be assigned by Skagit Transit over the phone).
• When waiting for your scheduled pick-up you must make yourself visible to the driver as the bus approaches and be positioned near where the address driveway meets an approved street, or at a previously determined safe location.
• While boarding the bus, please tell your driver what bus stop you will be dropped off at. Pull the stop request cord one minute before your stop, and make your driver aware.
• Schedule calls are only necessary for a pick-up from a flex stop, not for service from a marked fixed route stop.
• There are no eligibility requirements, this service is available to everyone.
• No flag stops will be honored, all flex rides must be booked at least one hour in advance.

• Flex Route 717 serves within the town of Concrete and Dalles Road, Concrete High School, Concrete Airport, Cape Horn, and Cedar Grove. It does not serve the Pressentin area.
