Everett Transit is a municipally owned and operated transit system of the City of Everett. It is a division of the Transportation Services Department, along with the Motor Vehicles Division. 

The Mayor is the Chief Executive Officer of the City. The Everett Municipal Code gives the Mayor authority to modify service and adjust schedules. The Everett City Council has the authority to establish fares and recommend tax rates, subject to voter approval. 

A volunteer citizen advisory board, the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC), provides input and advisory direction to city staff and administration for transit service and other transportation-related matters.
