Spokane Transit Plans For West Plains Transit Center
I hear all the time from folks on the West Plains that the area needs a transit center of some sort to provide better service to the several small towns west of Spokane. Well west plains folks, your thoughts have been heard and Spokane Transit would like to make your wish come true.
STA is in the starting phases of planning for a West Plains transit center that includes a park-and-ride facility, transit center and a "flyer stop" in the median of I90 that can be reached by a pedestrian bridge. What's a flyer stop? Something really cool that we haven't seen around here before.
