About this episode
(The Center Square) – Much of the funding for Sound Transit’s projects, including ST3, has come from federal grants. In the past seven years, it has secured a total of $3.8 billion, with $9 billion expected in future grants for ST3.

Those challenges could affect how much money it can expect, or need, from the federal government.
