Getting Around
Getting around Spokane is a snap! While we are considered a major metropolitan area, you'll find little in the way of traffic congestion here. Divided at the center by Sprague Avenue and Division Street, our city is mapped out in a simple grid pattern so it's easy to find your way.

The downtown core offers plenty of parking with several thousand spaces in lots, garages and on the street. Downtown Spokane is also very pedestrian friendly with wide, wheelchair accessible, sidewalks, pleasant weather and beautiful landscaping. During winter months, you'll find warmth and great views from the skywalks that connect much of downtown.

Public Transportation
The Spokane Transit Authority, STA, is Spokane's public transit system. User-friendly trolleys offer convenient shuttle service in core areas, while clean, quiet busses service routes throughout the city, including stops at local malls and shopping destinations.

Car Rentals
Numerous car rental agencies and taxi companies are also available to help with your local transportation requirements.
