Spokane Transit (STA) is adjusting several project timelines or descriptions within Connect 2035, as well as introducing one new project that aligns with the Connect 2035 goals. The amendments address the following:
• Recognizing the desire and the ability for earlier implementation of the Mobility on Demand pilot projects, with timelines being adjusted to a 2026 launch year
• Revising the project description for future High Performance Transit (HPT) planning in Spokane Valley to bring it in alignment with Connect Spokane
• Expanding the description of Facilities Master Plan implementation to align with the outcomes of the Phase 1 planning effort and the findings of Phase 2 to focus on essential support facilities instead of a future clean energy campus
• Adjusting the description for the implementation of the Zero Emission Vehicle Transition Plan to align with the findings of Phase 2 of the Facilities Master Plan
• Introducing the Community Van program whereby a van or other passenger vehicle is made available to an identified partner organization to provide mobility assistance for targeted groups or individuals that align with the partner organization’s mission and programs.
