Sound Transit offers passenger parking at many stations. Learn more and find the lot that works for you below.

Where to park

Parking is available at Link and Sounder stations and ST Express-served transit centers throughout Puget Sound.

Parking permits

At busy park-and-rides, Sound Transit has established reserved permit parking areas that passengers can access by applying for free Carpool/High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) parking permits.

Upcoming changes to parking

Starting in 2025, Sound Transit will begin charging user fees to recover costs to provide parking at selected Link Station park and rides. This change is consistent with the ST3 Plan.
