Rider Alert: Service change to begin November 3, 2025, on Route 511

We will be departing the Longview Transit Center at 6:25 am Southbound. The adjustment is for the first trip of the day only. This will allow time to make a deviation in Woodland to our new flag stop at Schurman Way/Heritage. We will also deviate on the Northbound trip departing from Ilani at 2:47 pm. If a rider needs that deviation at the 5:30 pm departure from the 99th St station, they will need to call the Longview Transit Center at 360-442-5663 between 8 am-4:30 pm to make the request.

2025 WSDOT Wall of Fame Honorees

Congratulations to our Transit Manager, Jim Seeks, and our Transit Operator, Linda Schnelle for being the 2025 WSDOT Wall of Fame honorees.

Jim Seeks has dedicated 48 years to the transit industry, bringing a wealth of experience and leadership to RiverCities Transit.

2025 WSDOT Public Transportation Wall of Fame – Jim Seeks

Beginning his journey with the agency as operations supervisor almost a decade ago, Jim quickly became an indispensable asset. In 2021, he stepped into the role of interim transit manager and soon after was appointed transit manager, taking on the challenge of learning a new role while continuing to support daily operations.

Under his leadership, RiverCities Transit secured critical funding to replace its aging fleet, ensuring safer, more efficient service for the community. Jim also played a key role in expanding the agency’s reach by overseeing the development and implementation of three new routes, significantly enhancing regional connectivity. This included bridging vital service gaps to Rainier, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington.

Jim’s strategic vision and dedication have left a lasting impact on our agency and the communities we serve.

2025 WSDOT Public Transportation Wall of Fame – Linda Schnelle

Linda joined the RiverCities Transit team as a transit operator in June 2021. Over these past four years, she has demonstrated both a deep sensitivity for providing great customer service and an excellent driving record.

No less than six of her fellow employees nominated her as one of our Wall of Fame honorees for this year, showing her positive effect on our team.

One of her peers wrote, “Linda always comes to work with a positive, ready-to-roll attitude. Her compassion and concern for our riders is immeasurable. She listens to the passengers and never fails to accommodate them to the best of her ability. Linda’s exceptional work ethic and passion for helping others is admirable.”

RiverCities Transit very much appreciates Linda for bringing the best of herself to work every day and takes great pride in honoring her on the 2025 Wall of Fame.
