Good news for Pierce County commuters, the Hilltop Link expansion in Tacoma is now open
After several years of works and millions of dollars later, you can now take the train from St. Joseph's all the way to Old City Hall station with five stops in between, including the Tacoma Dome and Stadium District.
Saturday morning, legislators and city leaders came together to celebrate the big day and seal it with a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony with a massive pair of scissors.As part of the expansion, there are five new light rail vehicles. They are 66 feet long and carry more than 100 passengers each.The University of Washington ran a study to see if drug smoke from fentanyl and methamphetamine is affecting transit operators and passengers.
"These investments connect communities, and you are the best example in America of how well that is working out for us," said Washington Senator Maria Cantwell. Students from several schools, including Stadium High, now have the ability to get around without a car. Even better, anyone in Pierce County 18 and younger can ride for free. Seniors can also ride at a discount for $1 per ride.
