Op-Ed: Cost for Seattle’s Sound Transit rail program balloons to $185 billion
Sound Transit, the agency in charge of Seattle’s rail program, recently announced a shocking $35 billion cost overrun on the ST3 program, bringing total program costs to at least $185 billion – just for light rail. The latest bad news is on top of numerous cost overruns and delays associated with the Sound Move, and ST2 plans. With approximately 3.4 million people in the district, the new cost estimates equate to about $55,000 for every man, woman and child within the district.| SmarterTransit
