Transit Trackers around campus help you ride the bus. When you’re busy studying or going from class to class, you can easily glance a transit tracker to know when the next bus is coming. Look for these signs in the places you frequent on campus!

How to read a Tracker
226 Bellevue TC 4 min
223 Redmond 6 min
245 Factoria 8 min
The tracker first flashes the location of a bus stop, followed by the current schedule for that stop. For example, you will see Parking Garage: Upcoming Bus Departures followed by upcoming buses near the Parking Garage.
On the schedule page, the numbers to the left represent a bus route. The text in the center is the final destination of that route, if you ride the bus all the way to the end. Note that each bus stops at many locations along its journey, and every route number has a distinct path, even if the final destination is the same. The abbreviation ‘TC’ stands for ‘Transit Center’. Finally, the time on the right is how long until the bus arrives at the stop. If the time is written in green, that bus is being tracked in real time, so you can trust that the timing is correct.

About this Project
Transit Tracker was originally a project by Eastside Urbanism. In 2025, Nick Frey – a former Bellevue College student and Sustainability Outreach Coordinator – built and customized several transit trackers with funding from the Student Environmental Sustainability Fund.
The software is open source. Find the repos on GitHub here and here.
