Link suspends two Leavenworth routes

Due to staffing shortages, Link Transit service on Routes 32 and 34 in Leavenworth were suspended effective Monday, September 12. This service has been in operation since early July 2022 and operated Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We are disappointed in the sudden need to suspend this new service to the Leavenworth area, but with our severe shortage of coach operators, we simply do not have enough folks to keep all of our services operating,” said Cristina Barone, Link’s Planning and Development manager. “Our hope is that we can recruit and train more operators so we can resume this service in the near future”. Route 32 serves Sleeping Lady Resort and Route 34 serves Leavenworth Ski Hill.

The Leavenworth DART*, a general public dial-a-ride service, is currently available to anyone traveling in the greater Leavenworth area, regardless of trip purpose, origin or destination (some limitations apply). And DART is zero-fare for all riders.
