About the Transit Access Fund

Through our Transit Access Fund, WTA provides grant funding to local and tribal governments for multimodal or non-motorized infrastructure projects located within a quarter mile of a WTA stop. Eligible infrastructure projects include sidewalks, intersection improvements, mid-block crossings, curb cuts, sidewalk ramps, shared-use paths, pedestrian crossing signals, bicycle parking, and pedestrian lighting.

The purpose of the Transit Access Fund is to expand the multi-modal transportation network by improving access to bus stops throughout Whatcom County. Many WTA bus stops lack safe and accessible pathways to nearby residences, businesses, medical facilities, social services, recreational sites, and other destinations. The Transit Access Fund is one of several ways we’re working to make it easier to access our stops.

WTA is currently not accepting applications for the Transit Access Fund. Feel free to contact us to inquire about past, current, and future funding opportunities!
