Sound Transit has and continues to extract billions from the Puget Sound region.  What do taxpayers receive for their contribution?  History shows, much less than what was promised.  The next phase of work, East Link, will not only cost billions, the resulting increase in regional capacity will be minimal (if at all).  Worse yet, the train will eliminate the center roadways on the I-90 floating bridge, roads that carry 10s of thousands per day. 

Sound Transit is beginning the process to go back to the tax payers for yet more money in ST3 while the promises of the first two rounds remain incomplete.  It is time to stop this train before it derails this region.  We need real, rational transportation solutions that will increase capacity and reduce travel times.  Future plans need to be compatible with the rapid development of ultra-high efficiency autonomous cars, buses and trucks. 

This blog was created as a way to collect and disseminate information related to Sound Transit and related transportation projects of the Puget Sound Region and to highlight deficiencies in these efforts.   Hopefully this information will lead to more informed electorate and who will demand better solutions and greater accountability for our regional transportation systems.
