Sound Transit needs federal dollars to expand. That might be a problem

Seattle Now

About this episode

Sound Transit has big plans for the next several decades.

But big plans have big price tags that the agency hopes to split with the federal government.

The problem is, the federal government has stopped approving Capital Investment Grants since Trump took office.

We’ll get into what that means with former Sound Transit CEO and former Federal Transit Administration administrator Peter Rogoff.
