Beyond transit
Making our region more livable
Whether you ride transit or not, we all benefit from fewer cars on our roadways, a cleaner and greener environment, more affordable housing, and equitable access to opportunities and services across our region. In each triannual Progress Report update, we’ll bring you a new perspective on what this work means for you.
Sustainability
Celebrating Earth Month
By offering more electric-powered high-capacity options and reducing dependency on cars, public transit’s environmental benefits are clear. But at Sound Transit, that’s just one facet of the many ways we prioritize people, planet, and prosperity.
Leadership
Interim CEO Goran Sparrman leads Sound Transit's staff, and a Board of Directors governs the agency. It's made up of local elected officials from across our transit district, apportioned by population, plus the state Secretary of Transportation.
Financial information
Sound Transit's construction and operations funding comes from a combination of local taxes, federal grants and loans, borrowing through the issuance of bonds, interest earnings, fare income, and other miscellaneous revenues.

Jobs at Sound Transit aren't just about rails and roads – we need your help to protect and sustain our environment, create more affordable housing across the region, advance our commitments to equity and anti-racism, and so much more.
