Whatcom Transit Authority (WTA)

Based on the www.ridewta.com website the only routes we would impact on Sunday are:

401 minimal impact between Wharf and State St on Boulevard. Southbound bus would be detoured with other traffic. Northbound bus already uses State St on its regular route.

232 possible impact on Prospect street and Dupont Street from Champion to Broadway on the following buses:

9:40am outbound from Bellingham Station could be delayed behind back of the half-marathon for a few minutes only it is supposed to reach Northwest/Illinois at 9:47am

9:45am inbound from Cordata (possible delay if race starts late) is not scheduled to be at Northwest/Illinois until 9:55am so if race is started as scheduled, we should be clear.
