Door-to-Door / Dial-A-Ride​ Services

​Community Transit does not provide its DART paratransit service in the Stillaguamish Valley. Here are other alternatives.

Homage's Transportation Assistance Program (TAP)

 

If you have a disability or are 50 or older, you can schedule a door-to-door trip through Homage Senior Services. Homage’s Transportation Assistance Program (TAP) provides this door-to-door service weekdays in the Stillaguamish Valley, so you can get to medical appointments, the grocery store, and other services.

 

Sauk-Suiattle

 

As part of its DC Direct, the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe also provides door-to-door service with pre-scheduling.  Trips are generally limited to the DC Direct service area, which is from Darrington to Concrete.

  • Free and open to everyone, including non-tribal members.

  • Call 360-436-0131 ext. 288 to schedule a door-to-door trip.

Pay Your Pal

If you have a disability and someone drives you to help you get to work, school, or medical appointments, Homage Senior Service’s Pay Your Pal program can reimburse your driver.

 

Vanpool

 

Community Transit provides vans for commuters to share trips to work together.  Employers will often help pay for part or all of the cost.


Vanpooling allows you to ride with people who you know and provides greater flexibility in choosing a time to depart. A monthly fare covers all costs, including gas, insurance, and vehicle maintenance. If there’s an emergency, the program guarantees a free alternative ride home.


If you are interested in establishing a vanpool program for trips unrelated to work, please email brock@gosnotrac.org.

 

Many community partners have been working together to improve transportation options for the residents of Darrington and the North Stillaguamish Valley.
