On Monday, June 24, 2024 Kitsap Transit welcomed project partners, stakeholders, and community members to a grand opening event for the Silverdale Transit Center.
The new facility features the region’s first wireless in-ground bus charging system to support the agency’s growing electric bus fleet.

It also includes eight bus bays, shelters, vehicle parking, stormwater management facilities, ADA-accessible site improvements, sidewalks, bike lanes, bike storage, a bus driver comfort station, and a dedicated on-ramp for buses onto State Route 303. This project will improve reliability and accessibility for transit riders and enhance access and mobility by connecting people to opportunities.

Silverdale is a designated regional growth center. The new transit facility, part of a larger development, will act as a community hub to support the region’s future growth.
Chair of the Parametrix Board, Jeff Peacock, and Parametrix employee-owners Austin Fisher, Jenna Anderson, Alex Johnson, Jo Johnson, Michael Horntvedt, Ben Blackburn, Mallory Wilde, Tammy Seymor, and Anne Timmermans attend the Silverdale Transit Center grand opening.
The project broke ground in May 2022. Parametrix has been involved with this multi-phase project since October 2015, from site selection and planning through full design development and permitting. A separate contract was awarded for construction management in the summer of 2021. Teaming partners during construction included Krazan for third party testing and inspection and Glumac for building and systems commissioning efforts.
