Sound Transit provides express bus, light rail and commuter rail service throughout Central Puget Sound. Since Sound Transit is an integral part of the region’s image, films, videos and print advertising often feature its vehicles and facilities.
Sound Transit permits filming and photo shoots at many Sound Transit facilities; however, please contact the agency's filming representative to discuss your particular needs, as restrictions may apply.
Update 5/20/2022: Due to staffing constraints, Sound Transit may not be able to permit all filming and photography requests. We will do our best to accommodate and will consider each request on a first-come, first-served basis.
Procedures
Sound Transit must approve all requests for commercial filming or photography on Sound Transit property prior to shooting. Please request permits at least 20 business days prior to your intended date.
