An implementation strategy for STA's comprehensive plan, STA Moving Forward contains more than 25 projects designed to:
- Connect people to services
- Connect workers to jobs
- Help advance regional economic development
In what would be the third amendment to the plan, STA proposes to adjust the following projects:
- Acquisition of real estate for a new Appleway Station Park and Ride would replace the current project generally described as expanding commuter parking capacity east of Sullivan Road.
- Adjust the implementation timeline for non-stop peak-hour service between Liberty Lake and downtown Spokane to 2017 to reflect the original introduction of Route 172 Liberty Lake Express.
- Improvements to Route 45 Perry District evenings and weekends would replace direct service between Logan and Lincoln Heights neighborhoods.
The proposed adjustments ensure investments remain relevant to the plan’s strategic objectives.

Demolition and replacement of the existing Mirabeau Point Park and Ride shelter and operations support building
STA (Spokane Transit Authority) proposes the demolition and replacement of the existing operations support building and east-adjacent shelters on the north side of the Mirabeau Point Park and Ride. The park and ride will be renamed the Mirabeau Transit Center.
The work will occur entirely at the existing Mirabeau Point Park and Ride site located at 13209 East Indiana Ave, Spokane Valley, Washington. Below is a map of the Mirabeau Point Park and Ride site outlined in red.
