Join us at Tacoma’s Vision Zero open house, June 18

Interested in learning about efforts to improve safe walking, bicycling, and rolling in Tacoma? Attend the City of Tacoma’s Vision Zero Open House: Saturday, June 18, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., STAR Center, 3873 South 66th St, Tacoma. You’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback on Tacoma’s draft Vision Zero Action Plan to eliminate serious and fatal traffic collisions.

Plus, Sound Transit will have a table at the event where you can learn about walking, bicycling, and other improvements we’re studying in the area to improve access to South Tacoma Station.

As a reminder, we completed an Alternatives Analysis report earlier this year, which describes all the improvements we’re studying to improve access to South Tacoma Station. We have begun our in-depth engineering review and expect to have more detailed information to share later this year.

Weekend Sounder trains – not just for sports fans

Want to take your kids to the Seattle Aquarium or an out-of-town guest to Pike Place Market? Driving to Seattle can be a mess on weekends, not to mention the cost of parking. But there is another way. Sound Transit runs trains to many weekend day games when the Mariners, Sounders FC or Seahawks are in town. You don’t have to attend the game to ride the train – take the opportunity to explore Seattle for a few hours!
Upcoming game trains:

  • June 18: Sounders FC vs. Los Angeles FC at Lumen Field.
  • June 19: Mariners vs Los Angeles Angels
  • June 25: Sounders FC vs Sporting Kansas City
  • July 3: Mariners vs Oakland Athletics

See all upcoming Sounder event trains.
