reel icon Did you know that Sound Transit’s efforts go beyond delivering public transit? 🚇 Our transit-oriented development (TOD) program fosters vibrant, livable communities near transit by putting land needed for construction and staging to use as opportunities for development. 🏙️ 🛠️   We recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new TOD project near the Spring District Station! BRIDGE Housing’s project will bring 234 affordable homes to the Eastside on land that was used for construction of the Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) East facility.     Sound Transit and the City of Bellevue transferred the site to BRIDGE Housing in late 2024 at no cost. This property discount is foundational in supporting the project’s affordable housing outcomes. ✨   Strong partnerships and investment from the City of Bellevue, King County, and A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH), Amazon, WA State Department of Commerce, and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission made this project possible. The affordable homes will be for households earning 60% AMI and below—plus, 40 units will be set aside for individuals with developmental disabilities. Convenient access to transit will, connect residents to opportunities across the region, from jobs to schools to parks. 🌳🏞️   🔗Learn more about this exciting effort at the link in our bio.
At Sound Transit, we're more than just a transit agency — we're a part of transforming lives! ✨ We recently had the honor of hosting a career pathways tour for the House of Matthew, a Tacoma-based organization dedicated to supporting individuals at risk of homelessness. During the tour, 12 students from their Homeward Bound program had the chance to learn more about the agency's construction and fare engagement career pathways. This collaboration is just one example of how Sound Transit is working to build stronger communities and provide meaningful career opportunities. Together, we can make a lasting impact! 🚍💙 🔗Read the full story at the link in our bio.📖

Link light rail reliability is getting better, but we’re not where we need to be. Service disruption hours have dropped, but delays still happen too often. We’re taking a hard look at what’s causing them—and how to fix it. Learn more at the link in our bio. #SoundTransit #PublicTransit
reel icon We are doing more than delivering transit. 🤍 Our transit-oriented development (TOD) program fosters vibrant, livable communities around transit by creating opportunities for development and affordable housing near our stations. 🏡   The Rainier Valley Affordable Homeownership Initiative is doing just that. Sound Transit transferred ten properties to Seattle’s Office of Housing at no cost in 2020. They then partnered with Habitat for Humanity to realize a vision for seven affordable homes on the first three of the sites to be developed. These will give seven families the opportunity to put down roots and build generational wealth in homes that are affordable to them. 📍🌱   You can learn more about this project and our other TOD projects at the link in our bio, or at Soundtransit.org/TOD. 🚈
