## Resource

Sound Transit’s park and ride garages are popular, especially during the morning rush. Many reach at least 90% capacity every weekday. Now the agency is trying to control the rush by implementing paid parking for some garages, with plans to expand. Seattle Times Transportation Reporter Nick DeShais will tell us more about Sound Transit’s plans, and what this says about our light rail system.
