Sound Transit approves rail service changes for 2021
Sound Transit’s board last week approved its 2021 rail service changes, which maintain reduced levels of service implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new service plan also reflects the planned opening of the 4.3-mile Northgate Link light-rail extension in September 2021. When service begins operating between Northgate and downtown Seattle, the light rail will operate every eight minutes during rush hour, every 10 minutes mid-day and weekends, and every 15 minutes late night.
No changes were made to current levels of Sounder commuter-rail or Tacoma Link service.
The service plan incorporates input from 1,900 people who responded to a survey about proposed changes, and is subject to changes based on future passenger demand and the financial impacts of COVID-19, Sound Transit officials said in a press release.
