Lewis County Transit is optimizing its routes once again for the Fall 2025 season, beginning on Monday, September 8. Minor changes are being made to improve efficiency of internal operations, as well as to reduce rider wait times. These changes are part of routine adjustments made bi-annually in March and September. The new route schedules will be posted on the Route Schedule page when changes go into effect.
Key Changes
- Brown Route – Officially launching a new service from East Morton to Packwood, operating Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
- Purple Route – Restoring full service to Kelso/Longview, Monday through Friday. Bus stop times will remain the same, but a southbound and northbound bus have been added to close the mid-morning and evening service gaps.
- Yellow Route – Adjusted to serve the Amtrak station at the beginning and end of the route.
- Blue Route – Revised to serve the hospital, offering riders in the Scammon Creek area a faster connection to North Centralia.
- Orange Route – Eliminating the Port of Centralia stop and utilizing the nearby Eshom Road stop, reducing travel time by several minutes.
- DARTT – Additional services to expand access and flexibility.
