RiverCities Transit and RiverCities LIFT will operate on a Saturday service schedule, 8 am to 6 pm, on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. The Longview Transit Center lobby and customer service will be closed. Routes in operation are 31, 32, 33, 45, 57.
RiverCities Transit is pleased to announce the start of two new commuter bus services, designated Route 433 and Route 511, beginning July 1, 2025. Current RiverCities Transit fares and passes will apply to both routes.
Longview, WA – Rainier, OR
Route 433 will provide Monday – Friday commuter bus service between Longview Transit Center, Rainier Transit Center, and Rainier Senior/Community Center.
Route 433 will depart Longview five times and return from Rainier four times each weekday. Please see the Route 433 timetable below.
This new service is made possible by a grant of the Federal Transit Administration, with the cooperation of the Oregon Department of Transportation and Washington State Department of Transportation, matched by funding from the Cowlitz Transit Authority and the City of Rainier.
Longview, WA – Vancouver, WA
Route 511 will provide Monday – Friday commuter bus service between Longview Transit Center and the 99th Street Transit Center in Vancouver, with stops at Kalama Toteff Park, Woodland Park & Ride, and the Cowlitz Reservation at ilani.
Until new vehicles are delivered, Route 511 will make three trips to Vancouver and two trips to ilani timed to meet C-TRAN Route 48 for direct connections to Vancouver. Please see the Route 511 timetable below.
Route 511 will be funded by a Washington State transportation budget proviso and the Cowlitz Transit Authority. RiverCities Transit thanks the Cowlitz Transit Authority Board, the Washington Senate and House Transportation Committees, and the Washington State Transit Association and its lobbyists for their diligent efforts to secure the funding.
With Lower Columbia Community Action Program discontinuing its rural transportation service, this will continue the long history of I-5 transit service.
