The Clallam County Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA) was formed on July 24, 1979, using a 0.3 percent sales tax approved by local voters.

[4] Clallam Transit debuted its "Strait Shot" intercity bus route in June 2017, connecting Port Angeles to the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal and other points in Kitsap County.

[5] The agency launched a shuttle connecting Port Angeles to the Hurricane Ridge area of Olympic National Park in 2022; following a fire that damaged the Hurricane Ridge Day Lodge, the buses ran with limited capacity.

The decision was made a year after free fares for youth riders went into effect as part of a statewide initiative and subsequently doubled ridership for under-18 passengers.
