What do you think about our plans for new bike facilities and sidewalks?

Sound Transit is planning a better-connected network, so more people can walk, roll, bike and take transit to South Tacoma Station and neighborhood destinations like SERA Campus. This could include filling in missing sidewalks and curb ramps, adding bike lanes or paths, updating bus stops and more.

We want to hear from you! Learn more and give us your input:

  • Visit the online open house through December 5.
  • Visit our table at the Tacoma Santa Parade: Sunday, December 4, 1-6pm. South Tacoma Way between S 50th and S 56th Streets.
