Thank you for helping us develop future ST Express service!
Ongoing industry-wide workforce challenges related to the pandemic have resulted in recent service reductions for Sound Transit’s operating partner Pierce Transit. Due to Pierce Transit’s staffing outlook, the Sound Transit Board authorized service reductions on specific routes in the South Corridor implemented in March 2024. Affected routes operated by Pierce Transit include ST Express Routes 577, 578, 580, 590, and 594.
Sound Transit is committed to equitable restoration of ST Express service once staffing levels allow. There is potential for Sound Transit to reinstate some of the recently suspended ST Express service in Pierce and South King Counties as part of the 2025 Service Plan. If we cannot restore the service, we will request that the Board authorize that service reductions remain.
Please answer these questions by Aug. 26, 2024 to help us understand your preferences.
