New Free Shuttle Connects Bellevue Light Rail to Downtown Hotels, Shops

Bellevue is launching a free electric shuttle on August 3, 2026, connecting Sound Transit’s light rail station to downtown hotels, shops, and restaurants. The pilot program, funded by Amazon and Visit Bellevue, will operate two electric vans Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. through December 2026. No reservation or app is needed — riders simply board at the station and tell the driver their destination.
