Link Shuttle buses will operate to transport riders between stations
Link light rail will be temporarily suspended between Capitol Hill and SODO on Sunday, Feb. 23 to accommodate necessary system maintenance.
During this disruption, crews will be completing a package of pre-scheduled maintenance projects including storm sewer cleaning, switch replacement and fiber inspections. During the disruption, Sound Transit will provide Link Shuttle buses to transport passengers. The buses will run approximately every 10-15 minutes and stop at all stations between Capitol Hill and SODO. More information is available here.
Passengers travelling southbound from Capitol Hill station will have to get off the train and take the shuttle, reconnecting at SODO station if they are continuing to travel south. The same will be true for passengers heading north through SODO station, who will exit at SODO and reconnect at Capitol Hill for the remainder of their journey. Link trains will be operating every 15 minutes from Lynnwood City Center to Capitol Hill and from Angle Lake to SODO.
Passengers should plan ahead and allow for extra time for transfers between buses and trains or seek alternative transit options that may better suit their needs. A full list of transit options is available at https://www.soundtransit.org/1LineAlternatives.
A language line is available to provide translation assistance for limited English proficiency persons at 800-823-9230.
Sound Transit remains committed to working closely with its partners to continue serving the public. Efforts will continue to prioritize serving riders who depend on Sound Transit’s services, including seniors, people with disabilities, Title VI protected populations (race, color, national origin), low-income and limited-English-proficiency populations.
Riders can sign up to receive automatic email service alerts for Link light rail, ST Express, T Line, Sounder N Line and Sounder S Line. Rider Alerts provide information about schedule changes and help riders plan trips around inclement weather. Just go to Service alerts | Sound Transit.
It is refreshing to see Sound Transit being proactive about maintenance and offering passengers an alternative means of transportation with shuttle buses. Preparation is key, especially with temporary suspensions. It is that level of a seamless service that reminds me of how important having seamless digital infrastructure is similar to how education systems rely on online exam software. Like transit riders depend on reliable links between stations, students and educators rely on consistent and user-friendly platforms to engage thoughtfully with assessments and learning experiences. Be it public transport or virtual classrooms, accessibility and preparedness matters!
The temporary suspension of Link light rail service between Capitol Hill and SODO on Feb. 23 is necessary for crucial maintenance. More details: https://www.theassignmenthelp.co.nz/case-study-help/.
