Thank you to everyone who filled out the Sounder South Strategic Plan survey! We appreciate your feedback about whether we should consider adding new midday, evening, or weekend trips on the S Line, or continue the current plan for longer trains during peak times.  

We received over 5,600 survey responses and talked with hundreds more people at events last month. We are now compiling survey results and will publish an engagement summary in January 2024.  

We expect the Sound Transit Board to consider updating the Strategic Plan in spring of 2024. If the Board chooses to prioritize new trips, we will begin negotiating with BNSF Railway, which owns most of the tracks Sounder runs on, and initiate planning for the additional infrastructure improvements that would be needed to support new trips. We’ll use your input, along with research on future travel patterns, to inform the Board’s decision.
