ST3 Candidate Projects List sets stage for a 2016 ballot

In June and July, the Sound Transit Board asked for input on a draft list of projects to study for possible inclusion in a Sound Transit 3 ballot measure. The response was fantastic: nearly 25,000 online surveys and more than 1,000 written comments. We read every single one.

Last Thursday, the Sound Transit Board acted on the input received by approving the ST3 Candidate Projects List. You can see the ST3 Candidate Projects List and view an interactive map on the ST3 website.

What comes next

Each project in the ST3 Candidate Projects List will be studied closely this fall and winter to estimate potential costs, ridership, transit integration, transit-oriented development opportunities and other factors. In early 2016, after identifying priorities based on study results, the Board is scheduled to publish a draft ST3 plan for additional public feedback before adopting a final ballot measure for voters to consider in November 2016.
