Sound Transit is seeking public comment on its proposed Transit Development Plan, which is now available online.

Under state law,  the agency is required to prepare a six-year transit development plan, as well as conduct a public hearing. The Transit Development Plan contains details on the agency’s goals (and how they align with state and local long-range priorities), performance measures and targets, planned capital improvements and operating changes for the next six years and a multiyear financial plan overview.

A public hearing will be held at Union Station, located at 401 S. Jackson St., or virtually through WebEx, from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 3.

In order to comment at the public hearing, you will need to sign up in advance. If you wish to comment in person, you must sign-up ahead of time on a sign-up sheet outside of the board room. If you wish to comment virtually, you will need to sign-up ahead of time through the board’s comment form linked below.

The sign-up window will be open from 8 a.m. on the day of the hearing until five minutes before the hearing’s scheduled start time. Sign up requires your name and email address. Commenters will be called on by name in the order they signed up.
