Sound Transit 2
What is ST?

Sound Transit 2 which voters approved on November 4, 2008 was developed in response to extensive public input and reflects what the people of Central Puget Sound region said they wanted most.

The plan responded to comments received from thousands of residents in telephone surveys, written remarks and public meetings.

An overwhelming majority of the more than 15,000 comments Sound Transit received in 2008 expressed a strong sense of urgency for expanding light rail, commuter rail and express bus service around the region.

Transportation continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing this region. With the participation of many thousands of residents, Sound Transit developed a plan that builds on the existing transit system and ensures that the Central Puget Sound region's transportation system continues to run smoothly with expanded capacity to meet both immediate needs and those of the future.
