New Route Seven Connects Airport to Jobs | Spokane News

Spokane Transit Authority is rolling out Route Seven, a new bus line heading straight to the airport starting September 21, cutting travel costs by up to $50 and slashing commute times with freeway access. Originating from Liberty Lake Park and Ride, it stops at key spots like the Spokane Valley Mall and downtown STA Plaza before reaching the terminal — designed not just for travelers but for everyday commuters too. CEO Karl Otterstrom stresses transit’s role in connecting people to jobs and schools, while expanded early-morning and late-night service helps match flight and work schedules. Though transfers are still needed for North Side and South Hill riders, this route brings real-time updates and standard buses (not double-deckers) to improve reliability. It’s about making affordable, efficient transit accessible for all Spokane residents — whether you’re flying or commuting to work.
