Transit is Why

Transit is Why is a Washington State Transit Association (WSTA) Public Education Campaign dedicated to showcasing the vital role of public transit throughout Washington State. Through this initiative, we are telling real stories of transit riders from across the state, highlighting how public transit connects people to jobs, education, and essential services, and enhances the quality of life for everyone.

Public transit isn't just about getting from point A to B; it's about fostering vibrant communities, supporting local economies, and promoting sustainability. Transit is Why demonstrates how buses, trains, ferries, and all forms of public transit contribute to a cleaner environment, reduce traffic congestion, and provide affordable, reliable transportation options.
