Transit for the Trees

Sep 22, 2023 Sep 30, 2023

Join us on the road to a greener future! As part of the City’ of Bellingham’s Climate Action Week, Whatcom Transportation Authority will plant one tree for every 100 bus rides.

Our goal is to plant 1,000 trees while reaching 100,000 rides between September 22 and 30, 2023. By riding the bus, you will directly contribute to the growth of our urban forest and help offset greenhouse gas emissions.

We invite you to participate in this collaborative effort with WTA and Whatcom Million Trees Project in order to promote sustainability, create cleaner air, and contribute to the well-being of our community.

To plan your route, visit ridewta.com or download the BusTracker app. WTA buses are $1 per ride, or free for anyone 18 and under, and Gold Card-eligible riders.
