Vacation Express
Ride our Vacation Express! The Vacation Express departs Washington State University, the University of Idaho, and Central Washington University at the beginning of Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks to Arlington, Bellevue, Biggs Junction, Ellensburg, Kennewick, Mountlake Terrace, Portland, and Tacoma. The Vacation Express then returns on the Sunday at the end of the breaks from the above locations. Please note that Portland, Biggs Junction, Arlington, Mountlake Terrace, and Kennewick are only serviced from Washington State University and the University of Idaho.
NOTICE: Flag Lane will be unavailable for the Fall 2024 thru Spring 2025 season due to construction. Flag Lane will be replaced with the stop on Grimes Way which is about .4 miles southeast of Flag Lane where we pick up for the Spokane Airport Express. Please allow yourself enough time to travel to the new location, especially in inclement weather.

Terms
We ask that you not travel while sick. Riding with the Starline Collection means you may be subject to a temperature reading, and if a fever is detected or if you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19, you will be denied entry on to the bus. Please obey the driver if they ask you to move from a seat that must remain empty. Seats that must remain empty will be flagged as such.
These precautions are to keep you and our drivers safe. These rules are subject to change based on Washington State Department of Health guidelines.
Departure and arrival times are approximate and may be affected by construction, traffic, weather, acts of nature, pass or road closures, and other unforeseen events.
