Build Parties

As part of our first Transit Tracker parts order, Eastside Urbanism hosted a build party at Redmond Library where everyone could claim their parts and put together their Transit Tracker in a guided process. It was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to learn basic electronics skills while connecting with fellow transit enthusiasts.

Many are smiling and holding up Transit Trackers displaying arrival times for bus routes. A projector is set up in the foreground, and large windows show a street with parked cars outside.

Future Build Parties​

We've seen people express a lot of interest in attending a future Transit Tracker build party, so we hope to hold more in the future. As of writing, the uncertainty regarding import tariffs in the United States has made it difficult to plan with confidence since the displays ship from China.

However, if you live in the Seattle metro area and are interested in any updates we have going forward, please fill out this form and we'll send you an email as soon as we have more information.

Community Events​

Some community members from outside of the Seattle metro area are organizing Transit Tracker build parties for their region. If you're organizing one (or are interested in doing so), reach out to us on Discord or via email — we can help out with logistics tips and help spread the word! And if you need us to add your local transit agency to the supported agencies list we can do that too.
