Help plan the future of transit on the Eastside, tell us how to improve connections throughout the Eastside as Link light rail service expands through 2024.
About the Project
East Link Connections is a King County Metro and Sound Transit coordinated, co-led process for improving transit connections throughout the Eastside as Link light rail service expands through 2024.

Project goals:
Improve mobility for priority populations, as defined by Metro’s Mobility Framework, including un(der)served populations
Equitably inform, engage, and empower current and potential customers
Deliver integrated service that responds to Link expansion
Minimize duplication of bus service with Link
Improve connections to Link
Be consistent with Metro Connects, and current and future mobility needs
