A New Era of Regional Mobility Begins March 28
March 9, 2026
On March 28, Sound Transit will open the long-awaited Seattle–Bellevue light rail connection, marking a major milestone for regional mobility and Downtown Bellevue’s workforce. With nearly 90% of Bellevue’s workers commuting from outside the city, the cross-lake connection will strengthen access to Downtown and help connect the region’s workforce like never before.
Businesses can also support transit access by joining the 1,000+ Puget Sound companies offering unlimited transit benefits through the ORCA Business Passport program.
