ET also provides Paratransit service to ANY senior citizen, age 65+ though Ilgenfritz noted this is only 23 riders. (Of Everett's estimated 65+ population of ~16,000+, this isn't many - and it's such a great opportunity!)

F. Baum @fbaum.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Everett Transit currently covers ALL of Everett for Paratransit, so you can see a few small ADA gaps in Everett which would not be covered for CT signups in the future, (though current ET riders would be grandfathered in to continue receiving service).

Map of Community Transit's "ADA Service Areas And Corridors September 2026", centered on Everett, and showing north to Stanwood, south to Edmonds, and east to Arlington, Granite Falls, and Gold Bar.

Attended this yesterday, and learned a lot. They didn't get much into squaring the Paratransit differences: which CT only provides to those who qualify, and to the federal ADA standard: within 3/4 of a mile of CT & ST routes - see map here and in next post: www.communitytransit.org/how-to-use-d...
