Carpool permit parking returns to Northgate and Tukwila International Boulevard stations
Free permits now available for November for two or more transit riders who carpool together
Carpool parking permits, suspended during the pandemic, are returning to two routinely crowded Sound Transit parking facilities. Beginning November 1, free carpool (HOV) permits will be available for parking at the Northgate and Tukwila International Boulevard stations for groups of two or more park-and-ride commuters who take the bus or train.
Permit applicants must provide basic contact information and ORCA card or Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) card numbers for each carpool member. Regular transit ridership is not required for initial issue of a parking permit, but once a permit is issued, ORCA records will be checked to verify regular ridership. At least two carpool members must ride a bus or train from the same station or transit center on the same day at least 12 days per month to qualify for monthly permit renewals.
Sound Transit is now accepting applications for the free permits. Go to https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/parking for more information and to https://soundtransit.cmrpay.com/permits/login to apply.
