Last week, Sound Transit launched a new Web site at www.soundtransit.org, which was redesigned to improve access to information.

The site features an email subscription service to enable users to obtain schedule changes, rider alerts, news releases, construction updates or the photo of the week. It also features a text-only option enabling the visually impaired to read the site, as well as better graphics and an improved search engine.

"As our agency has matured, so has the purpose of our Web site," said Sound Transit Chief Executive Officer Joni Earl in a prepared statement. "We’ve grown from a planning agency to a construction and transit operations agency, and the new site reflects that growth."
