WTA's Sunday service in Bellingham set to return starting June 12

Whatcom Transportation Authority will restore Sunday bus service in Bellingham starting Sunday, June 12.

The agency also will make other changes to various routes, as well as launch an online trip planner that day.

WTA cut its Sunday service last September after voters rejected a sales tax increase for WTA. Then Bellingham formed a citywide transportation benefit district, which asked voters for a two-tenths of 1 percent sales tax increase for various transportation purposes, including contracting with WTA to restore Sunday service. Voters approved it.
