Sound Transit to hold virtual public hearing on 2021 Service Implementation Plan
Sound Transit will be holding a virtual public hearing on Thursday, September 24, starting at 11 a.m. to receive public comment on Sound Transit's 2021 Service Plan.
Each year, Sound Transit's Service Planning Department prepares a Service Plan to guide the delivery of ST Express Bus, Sounder commuter rail, and Link light rail services. The document describes service and revisions proposed for the upcoming budget year. Information about the proposed plan is provided on the Annual Service Plan webpage.

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.
