Connect Spokane: A Comprehensive Plan
Connect Spokane is STA’s comprehensive plan, spanning 30 years in scope.
As a guiding policy document for the future of public transit in Spokane, this long-term plan has formed the basis for our medium and short-term plans, including:
- Our current 10-year plan: STA Moving Forward
- Our proposed future ten-year plan: Connect 2035
- Our six-year implementation plan: Transit Development Plan
Originally adopted in 2010, Connect Spokane has been revised multiple times since.
2024 Changes to the Connect Spokane Comprehensive Plan:
HPT (High Performance Transit): Adding new tables and maps for current and proposed routes.
Paratransit: Clarifying specific definitions.
Flexible Services: Introducing shared mobility language and clarifying the differences between our range of mobility services. Including criteria for mobility-on-demand projects.
Communications and Public Input: Updating outreach tools to reflect best practices and recognizing the public participation spectrum.
Revenues and Fares: Aligning new policies with proposed Connect 2035 initiatives and how we currently manage fares.
Regional Transportation and Land Use: Updating TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) and land acquisition policies to address economic development.
Sustainability: Making minor updates and reorganizing chapter content.
Equity and Inclusion: Integrating the existing Title VI annex and other related policies into a new section called ‘Equity and Inclusion’.
