Seattle’s summer is action-packed. And so are the roads. By adapting your everyday travel to include riding transit, carpooling, biking, or walking, you can make every trip a new adventure and not miss the fun!
Between FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ matches welcoming sports fans downtown, WSDOT’s Revive I-5 closures, and local street upgrades – things will shake up and could bog down your usual routes. Don’t despair – your favorite SDOT spokesalmon, Sal, will help you “Flip Your Trip.” Kicking off with Ride Transit Month in June, Sal will help you navigate Seattle traffic this summer.
Ditch solo drives for smoother, smarter travel – whether you’re commuting, exploring the city, or heading to a game.
At FlipYourTrip.org, Sal will share travel tips on how to catch a bus or train, get around town by biking, hopping on a scooter, sharing a ride, or simply walking or rolling where you’re going. Let’s make your Seattle summer stress-free and full of exciting experiences!
Flip Your Trip: Smart, Fun, & Easy!
We’ll serve up fresh comics, helpful video clips, and tips to make getting around smooth – and maybe even fun! No fishy business here – dive into Sal’s best travel advice at FlipYourTrip.org.
Here’s How to Flip Your Trip this Summer:
- Access Resources. Visit FlipYourTrip.org, your go-to resource for tools, maps, and tips to get around.
- Plan Early. Chart alternative routes, and research new ways to get around. Don’t miss:
- Riders 18 and under ride transit for free!
- 24/7 bus lanes on Aurora Ave N (SR 99) coming soon (installation is underway!)
