Sound Transit is failing.
Sound Transit’s failure is entirely preventable and no accident. This is not a product of one person or this moment in time. It is a slow-motion trainwreck decades in the making.
In 2016, voters approved the largest per capita transit measure in the country. However, 10 years later, the agency is failing to deliver the entirety of the system and waving away a $35 billion cost overrun. This is a failure whose nearest peer is the California High Speed Rail project.
