Community Transit has been connecting Snohomish County since 1976 — but transit’s impact goes far beyond getting from A to B. In this episode of The Transit Effect with Ken Jennings, we explore how the subway helped fuel the Harlem Renaissance, how Rosa Parks’ stand on a bus became a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement, and why reliable transit access is still closely tied to opportunity today — including new investments in Washington state and Snohomish County.
