In September 2024, Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings began filming a YouTube series titled The Transit Effect, which delves into the significance of public transit in Snohomish County, Washington. This seven-part series, initiated by Community Transit, covers the historical and contemporary role of public transit and emphasizes its impact on infrastructure, economic growth, and accessibility. The first episode has already been released, with future episodes scheduled through 2026. Amid current challenges to renewable energy, the series advocates for sustainable transportation solutions and aims to enhance public understanding of transit's influence on everyday life.
