This is a list of current routes[1] operated by the mass transit agency Spokane Transit Authority in Spokane, Washington. Spokane Transit Authority operates 53 routes as of February 2025. Routes are organized by route number. Discontinued routes and former versions of existing routes are not listed. Routes are color-coded in accordance with the STA System Map, with green for shuttles, red for high-frequency, blue for basic-frequency, pink for express routes, and lilac for the City Line.[2]
These lists reflect the January 19, 2025 STA service changes.[1][3]
System organization
[edit]Each route is organized by color and number to assist riders navigating Spokane's transit system. In August 2022, Spokane Transit began a standardized coloring system to denote level of service for each route.[4][5] Route numbers represent the general service areas served.[6] Single digit routes denote high performance transit.
