After undergoing quality and safety testing, Sound Transit's Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension of the T Line will open to passengers on Sept. 16.
The 2.4-mile extension doubles the length of the T Line and includes seven new stations. The light-rail opening marks the first of a series "scheduled over the next several years that will connect more people within their local communities and the greater Puget Sound region" in Washington, said Sound Transit CEO Julie Timm in a press release.
Passengers will have access to Wright Park, major medical facilities and regional transit via the Tacoma Dome Station. Trains will run from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday; 7:20 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
Also, Sound Transit will begin charging fares via ORCA, paper tickets and the Transit GO app, and will conduct a targeted ORCA LIFT reduced fare promotion and awareness campaign in Tacoma.
