Sound Transit is transforming how the Central Puget Sound region moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic. As the agency prepares for nearly a million new Central Puget Sound residents by 2040, transit services are expanding to meet today’s growing needs. Thanks to voter approval of the largest mass transit expansion in the region’s history, Sound Transit’s light rail system will grow to four times the size it is today. When complete, the 116-mile light rail system will stretch from Everett to Tacoma and connect major job and population centers in Seattle including South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Ballard and West Seattle. It will also extend east to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and Mercer Island. As Sound Transit grows, we seek innovative, technical and creative professionals who are ready to come on board and make a difference. Career opportunities include information technology, finance, construction management and engineering positions. Apply today at www.soundtransit.org/jobs.

Friday marked the start of service on the new 1 Line extension to Lynnwood! It was a great day (and night!) celebrating community and progress on transit expansion projects that connect more people to more places in our region. Thank you to everyone who came out to ride Link, shop the 1 Line Night Market and to our On-Board partners, HNTB and Skanska, as well as ALL of our event partners who showed up to support the opening event. #SnoCoLink

Recently, a group of riders with disabilities, travel trainers, Orientation & Mobility Specialists, and service dogs-in-training visited our new stations and a train to learn about Link accessibility features. Feedback provided at accessibility familiarization events like this one helps to ensure service is accessible to everyone. #SnoCoLink For more info on transit accessibility: https://lnkd.in/g3NKxMuh
