City Line Project
Spokane’s first Bus Rapid Transit line
The concept of City Line was discussed, evaluated and planned for by community partners for over 15 years before the project was funded.
City Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service has been customized for the needs of Spokane, reflecting cost-effectiveness and flexibility. It will provide earlier and later service seven days a week – making it a viable transit option in the busiest commercial corridors, especially for commuters.
