Sound Transit CEO Julie Timm announced yesterday she will leave the agency to return to the East Coast to take care of family matters.
Since joining Sound Transit in September 2022, Timm has overseen a renewed emphasis on the rider experience as the agency approaches the opening of several new extensions, starting with East Link next spring, according to a Sound Transit release.
Timm’s last day on the job in Seattle will be Jan. 12, 2024. Prior to joining Sound Transit, she was CEO of the Greater Richmond Transit Co. in Richmond, Virginia.
Board members and staff leadership will form a transition team to navigate the agency through the leadership transition, Sound Transit officials said. The board is expected to appoint an interim CEO in the coming weeks.
