Sound Transit needs to close $34.5 billion funding gap - take the survey
Sunday, April 12, 2026
The agency currently estimates that it will need to close a $34.5 billion funding gap over the next 20 years to deliver what's outlined in the voter-approved Sound Transit 3 program.
ST3 includes light rail extensions to West Seattle, Ballard, Tacoma, and Everett, South Kirkland and Issaquah, and much more.
Sound Transit’s Board of Directors and Sound Transit staff are taking proactive steps to address this long-term financial challenge through a comprehensive agencywide process known as the Enterprise Initiative (learn more about that initiative here).
As part of this process, the agency is requesting feedback via a survey from those who live within the Sound Transit District.
The survey is available here.

Cut the pensions to all the politicians that sold us this bait and switch transportation package until the deficit is balanced. That way the rest of us aren't stuck with their freeloading fantasy world and aren't burdened by more lies and unaccountability.
Sound Transit's management and executives should all take a permanent 25% paycut to help balance the agency's budget. Its the least they could do.
