Spokane Transit Board of Directors

STA is overseen by a regional board that provides the policy and legislative direction for Spokane Transit’s CEO, and approves its actions, budgets, and long-term plans. It also has the authority to levy taxes as authorized by state law (with voter approval).

The Board of Directors is composed of nine voting and four non-voting elected officials from Spokane County and cities in the Public Transportation Benefit Area, which include Airway Heights, Cheney, Medical Lake, Millwood, Liberty Lake, Spokane, and Spokane Valley, and a non-voting representative of labor.
