What an incredible week for transit professionals in the Queen City! CATS welcomed over 25 nationwide industry leaders for the Eno/MAX program, a collaborative professional development opportunity designed by the Eno Center for Transportation. Participants join a cohort with partner agencies, and over a year, spend a week at each agency developing relationships, deepening their knowledge, gaining new perspectives and creating a project to implement within their agency based on what they've learned. This year, 8 brilliant leaders from across our organization were joined by representatives from DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), Los Angeles Metro and Sound Transit. We've had a blast learning from and alongside you, and it was an honor to welcome you into the Crown! A special congratulations to CATS' 2024 Eno/MAX participants: Lavernia Boyd, Dietrich Brown, Jim Fatula, Keith Hawkins, Jonathan Miller, Stanley Thomas, Eric Williams and Tiffany Jerry. We are so proud of your leadership initiative and commitment to learning! ???? #Professionaldevelopment #EnoMAX

Sound Transit is committed to supporting the development of livable communities near our stations. ?? Housing Hope’s proposed project brings affordable housing to the Lynnwood City Center Station area, including 167 affordable units for households earning between 30% and 60% of the area’s median income. The Community Health Center of Snohomish County and the Center for Human Services will provide medical, dental, and behavioral health services, and a childcare facility. A trauma-informed pediatric care facility will support youth who have experienced poverty and homelessness. Kindred Kitchen, a public café and job-training center, will have a new location on-site. Regardless of ability to pay, insurance status, and citizenship, these services will all be available to residents and community members. The development will restore the on-site stream to fish-passable standards, adding open green space and benefiting salmon. There will be access to walking trails, community gardens, and more to engage with this outdoor space. This Transit Oriented Development project supports a shared vision of a more vibrant, walkable, mixed-use, and mixed-income neighborhood near the new Lynnwood City Center Station.

One year ago, we said 'Hello' to new connections in Tacoma ?? as the T Line extension to the city's Stadium and Hilltop neighborhoods opened on Sept. 16, 2023. Since then, we've opened even more transit service - on the Eastside and then in Snohomish County. Each opening day is a special chance to celebrate with the communities we serve! #SoundTransit #PoweringProgress
