Wheat Line Connects Rural Washington
Description
A new bus route called the Wheat Line is connecting Spokane, Moses Lake, and Pasco, offering two daily round trips since May — filling a critical gap in rural transit. Funded by FIFA World Cup dollars and federal rural grants, it’s part of a revived Travel Washington program, the first new route added since 2008. Designed to help residents access jobs, education, and medical care, the service is operated by Central Washington Airporter, known for reliable, passenger-appropriate vehicles. Beyond the World Cup, the program’s marketing and pilot routes aim to build lasting public transit access for Washington’s underserved communities.
