Spokane
LRT planned
As of mid 2002, the Spokane Transit Authority is discussing several types of LRT.
Most prominent is a 16 mile starter line
between downtown Spokane and Liberty Lake. Extensions are also being discussed
for lines to the airport, North Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. More recent
studies indicate that ridership would be low, and federal funds for the project
are unlikely.

Really
a trolley museum, this small line is actually in revenue service
at times. Built in 1907, the 5 mile line reached 44 miles at it's peak. It now
connects Yakima with Selah, Washington.
