WTA Shuttle Runs
WTA will be running through Fairhaven every 10 minutes, heading down to the Amtrak Station. Riders will also be able to get off on 12th street or Harris and 9th and hop on over to other Fairhaven events happening on Sunday, which should hopefully alleviate some parking congestion!
Racers and spectators will be able to beat the crowds by taking advantage of WTA’s frequent service on the Route 1:
- 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.: Every 10 minutes
- 5:00 p.m. to 7:55 p.m.: Every 15 minutes
Outside of these times, Route 1 will run on its regular Sunday schedule. Route 14 and Route 105 will also connect riders between Downtown Bellingham Station and 12th Ave & McKenzie in Fairhaven.
Riders are encouraged to catch a connecting bus from their neighborhood to Bellingham Station or take advantage of free parking at the Commercial Street Garage, Railroad Avenue Garage, Depot Market Square, and on-street locations. For those combining a bike and bus trip, Ski to Sea is also offering a free bike valet at the entrance to Marine Park.
