About
Sound Transit is the public agency responsible for planning, building, and operating regional transit systems across the Central Puget Sound. Its flagship project is a 116–mile light‑rail network that will connect Everett, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and other key employment hubs, expanding to four times its current size after voter‑approved funding. The agency also provides commuter rail, express bus services, and comprehensive civil engineering and construction support to accommodate the region’s projected population growth to nearly one million by 2040. Sound Transit distinguishes itself through large‑scale, voter‑backed infrastructure projects and a commitment to innovative, sustainable transit solutions. It offers diverse career paths in IT, finance, engineering, construction, and operations for professionals eager to shape the future of regional mobility.
