"One of the most important actions we can take to further mobility justice in this state is to get Pierce Transit’s buses running more often." New op-ed by @kirkhovenkotter.com of TCC and @lauraridesbuses.bsky.social of Tacoma On the Go in @theurbanist.org. www.theurbanist.org/2026/02/16/o...

Urgent: Time is running out to advance smarter transportation planning in Washington. Contact your representatives TODAY and ask them to pass House Bill 2134, which would require Regional Transportation Planning Organizations to account for GHG emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled. bit.ly/40dqzWZ

No matter how you got to the @seahawksofficial.com parade, we are all 12s. 💙💚🚌🚆🚶🏻‍♀️🚲💚💙

Every 6 minutes came a crushload @sound-transit.bsky.social train full of Seahawks fans for the parade. Starting Saturday, trains this often this won’t just be for special events, but will just be the everyday commute.

Transit for the win! Thank you to our transit agencies for getting hundreds of thousands of people safely to and from the parade today. It was a joyful scene on trains and buses across the region as people made their way downtown to celebrate our Super Bowl LX champions, the @seahawksofficial.com

We need your help to ensure Sound Transit can keep building light rail across the Puget Sound Region as quickly as possible. Senate Bill 6148 would give Sound Transit the financial flexibility it needs by allowing it to issue 75-year bonds. Contact your senator to ask them to support this bill.

Lots to love this Saturday 🚆 Link is leveling up: twice the frequency and two lines running between Lynnwood and Chinatown–International District. That means trains every ~4 minutes through the core. www.soundtransit.org/blog/platfor...

Why does building transit in the U.S. take so long and cost so much? One big reason: outdated permitting processes that let local approvals slow projects down - sometimes for years. Kudos to Washington legislators taking steps to address this. @transpochoices.bsky.social

TCC's Policy Analyst Nivya Murthi worked with students from the University of Washington's Master of Public Health program to explore how public health intersects with transit-oriented development.

There's still time to provide public comment on @psrc.bsky.social's draft Regional Transportation Plan. Help ensure that transportation investments will support the Puget Sound region's health, safety, mobility, and climate goals. Weigh in by MONDAY, February 2nd.

Starting on MARCH 28TH you can take light rail from Seattle to Bellevue!! What an exciting moment as we connect more of our region—transit riders rejoice! @transpochoices.bsky.social

On March 28th, the Crosslake connection will open. It's the first time in the world that light rail will cross a floating bridge. TCC was proud to lead the ballot measure campaign in 2008 that made this extension from Seattle to the Eastside possible. In 64 days, we’ll see you on the train!

Say hello to a truly connected region on March 28! The Crosslake Connection is opening two new stations and a world of new possibilities for the Eastside, Seattle and beyond. 🚊✨   Explore this highly anticipated new connection and get ready to ride! 🎉 www.soundtransit.org/crosslake

Made it into the @transpochoices.bsky.social hall of fame! Time to #BuildTheDamnBusLane!! @jasonli468.bsky.social @fixthel8.bsky.social

Last night was so fun! It was such an honor to have our team from @moveredmond.org inducted into the @transpochoices.bsky.social Hall of Fame! It was also so fun seeing so many wonderful people who make our state better!

NEW DATE! Learn about plans for light rail to West Seattle & what upcoming Sound Transit Board discussions mean for residents at this Forum w/ @transpochoices.bsky.social, the 34th District Dems, WS Chamber, CM Saka, @kingcounty.gov Exec. Braddock, & @sound-transit.bsky.social CEO Constantine!

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to launch Build the Damn Trains! Together with labor, business, and transportation advocates from across the region, we shared this message with the Sound Transit Board: www.buildthedamntrains.com/lets-build-l...

Honored to join with @transpochoices.bsky.social, @moveredmond.org, Tacoma on the Go!, and so many other partners to urge Sound Transit to #BuildTheDamnTrains! We're a region that's united behind delivering the transit system that voters were promised as quickly as possible.

This morning transit advocates from around Central Puget Sound gathered together to bring one message to the Sound Transit board: "build the damn trains." This afternoon the board is holding its first retreat since the announcement of the $30-$40 billion shortfall through 2046.

Today we stood by @transpochoices.bsky.social in support of their Build the Damn Train campaign. Together along w/ other regional transit leaders, we are asking for Sound Transit to deliver the vision of the voters. It’s about connecting people regionally w/ frequent & reliable transit!

We've been blown away by the support we've gotten for our campaign and still can't believe how many people showed up to Race the L8. TCC has been an invaluable ally and we are honored to receive this recognition. We'll continue to fight (and race) until we get bus lanes on Denny Way.

We are honored to be inducted into TCC's Hall of Fame! 🙌Our small but mighty team has been & will continue to prioritize all people have frequent, reliable, and accessible transit!

Welcome to the Transportation Choices Hall of Fame, @fixthel8.bsky.social and @moveredmond.org! transportationchoices.org/announcing-o...
