"I have commuted by bike through the rough roads of Beacon Hill for a decade. Now that the project is complete, I get to experience another joy: watching groups of kids commute to school using the bike lanes. What a difference this makes for our community." sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/09/19/b...

Seattle's human population is growing fast, but its car population has stalled out. Between 2017 and 2023, Seattle added 35,000 households and about 80,000 residents, but just 3,300 cars, new Census data has revealed. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/09/07/w...

Watch as workers demolish an obsolete and much despised bike bridge next to the BNSF Railway yard, to make way for a wider and level trail.

30% of Seattle Public School students walk, bike, or scoot to school. The US national average is only 11%. We’ve built a Safe Routes to School project at every public school in Seattle. We’re not done: 70+ improvements are coming, funded by the Seattle Transportation Levy.

Concerned about Route 8 reliability? We are too. Here’s an update on our near-term approach to making this high-ridership bus route more reliable: https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/08/28/route-8-updates-supporting-reliable-travel/

🚲🚶🚛 Yesterday, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social, @seattledot.bsky.social, and other local leaders toured upgrades along East Marginal Way South, making this vital corridor safer, stronger, and more efficient. Learn more: harrell.seattle.gov/2025/08/27/t...

We're in our first intermission of Revive I-5 work on the Ship Canal Bridge. Yes, that means more is coming, and we want to make it easier for you to stay informed. Help us plan for the next chapter by taking this short survey about our communications efforts: https://bit.ly/i5-en-c

Reminder! Seattle Public School students return to class on Wednesday, September 3. Speeding is dangerous, and can be expensive. A ticket from a School Zone Safety Camera costs $237. Driving 20 miles an hour or less in a school zone costs $0. So does walking, biking, and riding the school bus.

On August 21, 2025, Seattle set a new yearly record for bike and scooter share rides: 6.32 million rides. This surpassed 2024's total ridership (6.28 million) with four months left in the year. To support riders, we gave away over 2,500 free helmets this year. Claim yours at seattle.gov/BikeShare.
