2009 Service Implementation Plan
Each year, a Service Implementation Plan (SIP) is prepared by Sound Transit's Transportation Services Department to guide the delivery of ST Express bus, Sounder commuter rail, and Link light rail services. Developed in close coordination with the agency's proposed budget and long-range financial plan, the SIP describes service additions and revisions proposed for the upcoming budget year, together with preliminary proposals and financial estimates for the subsequent 5-year period.
Voter approval of Sound Transit 2 in November 2008, assures the region of an increase in bus service starting in June 2009. The service increases are reflected in an amended 2009 SIP. The public hearing will be held April 30, 2009, in the Ruth Fisher Board Room at Sound Transit Headquarters,
The full Sound Transit Board may take action on Thursday, May 28 at their meeting which begins at 1:30 p.m. in the Ruth Fisher Board Room.
The summary of the proposed service changes and descriptive maps are now available here >>>
