2027-2032 Transit Development Plan
As a public transportation benefit area authority in Washington state, Spokane Transit Authority develops a yearly Transit Development Plan (TDP) for the following six years, detailing how we’re going to improve bus services and infrastructure.
For this year, we’re developing the plan which covers the years 2027-2032.
This plan is shared annually with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) as required by state law, contributing to their reports to our lawmakers.
But it’s not just a requirement; this plan is a key part of STA’s medium-term strategy to make public transportation in Spokane better for everyone.
