Two highly congested roads in south Snohomish County are among three stretches targeted by Community Transit’s Curb the Congestion program. The program urges residents to use alternatives to get to where they are going.
The three corridors are: 164th Street between Lynnwood and Mill Creek, 128th Street between Everett and Mill Creek, and 20th Street SE between Lake Stevens and Everett. The county identified these specific corridors because they offer bike lanes, sidewalks and transit facilities.
Curb the Congestion is a partnership between Community Transit and Snohomish County providing information and incentives to reduce solo-driver trips. Staff are available to provide one-on-one advice in planning trips.
In addition, an online calendar helps people log their trips and tracks eligibility for prize drawings. The calendar can track the effect of an individual’s travel alternative, such as air pollution prevented and money saved. The Web site also has resources for bus information, maps, carpool matching, a Bike Buddy program and other tools.
Participants who sign up and log their alternative trips at least 12 days a month are eligible to win a $250 monthly prize or a $1,000 quarterly prize.
Information and registration is available at www. communitytransit.org and click on the Curb The Congestion tab or e-mail CurbIt@commtrans.org. Residents without Internet access can call 425-438-6136.
