Welcome to the Web site for the Expert Review Panel for Sound Transit Phase Two (ST2). Here you'll find information about the Panel's mission, members, meetings and findings, along with links to resources.

The Expert Review Panel, as required by State law, provides independent, expert technical review for the Phase 2 Plan Update being conducted by Sound Transit. The purpose of the plan is to develop recommendations for the expansion of the high-capacity transportation system in Pierce, King and Snohomish counties.

The Panel met eight times between February 2005 and June 2007, and issued a final opinion letter in September 2007 on the ST2 plan that was on the ballot in November 2007. The ballot measure paired Sound Transit’s proposal with the roads plan of the Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) as Proposition 1, "Roads and Transit." However, the voters did not approve that ballot measure.

Sound Transit is now working to develop other options for extending the region's mass transit system to meet projected needs. The Expert Review Panel has been reconvened to review this new planning work.
