By the end of 2026, Link light rail will provide expanded service to communities across the Central Puget Sound region. To maximize the benefits of the expanded system, Sound Transit is proposing updates to ST Express bus routes that will improve regional connections, streamline the network, and better integrate with high-capacity transit. These changes are expected to be implemented beginning in Fall 2026.

Sound Transit remains committed to working closely with its partners to continue serving the public. Efforts will continue to prioritize serving riders who depend on Sound Transit’s services, including seniors, people with disabilities, Title VI protected populations (race, color, national origin), low-income and limited-English-proficiency populations.
