Service changes

2024 will be a year of change for Sound Transit service, so we have adopted the 2024 Service Plan in two parts. The 2024 Service Plan for Link light rail was approved at the end of 2023. The 2024 Service Plan for ST Express service will be approved during the Board of Directors meeting on March 28.

March 30 – April 1 service change

  • Northbound 1 Line trips at the end of the night will terminate at Beacon Hill Station instead of Stadium Station. This will affect the final four trips of the night from Monday to Saturday and the last trip of the night on Sunday. Read our blog post for more information.
  • There will be a mix of three- and four-car trains in service.
  • From 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., trains will run every 12 minutes.
    • This adjustment will accommodate testing and certification work related to our upcoming Lynnwood Link Extension.
    • Passengers will see trains continuing up to Lynnwood as things progress.
  • Service begins on the 2 Line between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology stations on April 27.
    • Trains will operate every 10 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.

 

  • Adjust scheduled runtimes on selected ST Express routes (510, 512, 513, 532, 535) to provide more reliable service.
  • Reduce service in response to operator shortages for Pierce Transit–operated ST Express routes:
    • Temporarily suspend Route 590 service between Tacoma Dome and downtown Tacoma.
    • Temporarily suspend Route 580.
    • Temporarily suspend trips on Routes 577, 578, 590, and 594.
