The Tacoma Link light rail line opened in summer 2003, introducing the state's first modern light rail system to Tacoma.
The 1.6-mile line connects Tacoma's downtown core with the regional transportation hub and free parking garages at the Tacoma Dome Station. Tacoma Link has exceeded monthly boarding numbers that weren't projected to occur for another five years. In January 2006, Tacoma Link welcomed its two millionth rider.
Tacoma Link also showcases an award-winning public art program. Each of the five light rail stations features strong art components that reflect the area it serves. Inspiration was pulled from Tacoma's history and the personality of the districts today. "Visitors to the Museum of Glass love Tacoma Link," said Julie Pisto, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Museum of Glass and International Center for Contemporary Art. "The artwork at each station adds to the adventure of exploring downtown Tacoma."
