Allows groups of people to "lease" a WTA-owned van for the purpose of commuting to and from a common worksite. The vanpool group pays a fare based on the number of miles the van travels each month. Fares cover all costs to operate the van, including fuel, maintenance and insurance.
Fixed routes provide service to designated bus stops using large transit buses. WTA provides service seven days a week, with more limited service on Saturdays, Sundays and evenings. Fixed routes serve Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine and Birch Bay, Lummi Nation, Sudden Valley, Kendall, Everson, Nooksack and Sumas.
Starting May 7 2025, REAL ID compliant identification will be required for air travel inside the USA and entry into some federal locations. Enhanced driver's licenses and enhanced identification cards from WA DoL do qualify as REAL IDs. For more information, visit the Department of Licensing.
