2026 Begins
by Mike Orr from Seattle Transit Blog on (#72GZC)
What will happen in 2026 in Pugetopolis transit? Here's a few things off the top of my head:
- January: Katie Wilson will reveal her transit agenda as Seattle's mayor. We'll see how well her negotiation and implementation skills perform.
- March-May: The full 2 Line is expected to open in this timeframe.
- June: The World Cup. Transit service will be the current network and the full 2 Line, plus extra runs on a few Metro and ST routes.
- September: The ST Express network restructure. The final proposal will probably go to the board in late spring.
- Sometime: Pinehurst Station opening.
- Spring-ish: The Sound Transit board will identify which ST3 cost-cutting measures it will advance in the Enterprise Initiative.
More events are below in the comments.
Also, what should the agencies/governments do in 2026? Especially things that are politically and logistically feasible.
