Company Overview

At Sound Transit, we’re changing the way the region moves; building light rail, commuter rail, and express bus systems throughout the Puget Sound region. We are looking for employees who like to be challenged, work in a fast-paced environment and have a passion for our mission. Sound Transit offers employees a competitive benefits package, and a chance to make a real positive impact on the environment, and quality of life in our area.

Sound Transit was created by the state legislature to build a mass transit system that connects major regional job and housing centers in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Voters in 1996 approved a plan that provides the foundation of that system – regional express buses, commuter rail and light rail. Today, Sound Transit carries nearly 14 million riders a year.

On Nov. 4, 2008, voters in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties approved a mass transit expansion proposal that will add 36 miles of light rail to the system that is opening in July, 2009. It also includes a 17 percent expansion of ST Express bus service starting in 2009 and increases to Sounder commuter rail service.
