The Raven WTA van has arrived

Whatcom County Transit (WTA) has delivered a 7-passenger van to Point Roberts. The van, called The Raven, is for use by the Point Roberts community for two trips a week to Bellingham and the surrounding area in Whatcom County. The van will leave from the community center parking lot on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and will make drop-offs and pick-ups in Bellingham. Trips can include shopping and appointments. There is no cost to the community for this service. WTA is funding all costs associated with the van and its operation for one year as a pilot program. The hope is that if it is successful and well-utilized, the service will be extended.
