The @SoundTransit Expansion Committee is taking up an action to consider selection of a project to be built recommendation for the Stride bus rapid transit maintenance base to full ST Board. soundtransit.org/st_sharepoint/… 
A site has been picked in Bothell. It will accommodate up to 120 buses. The cost estimate is $290 million.
The bus base could open in 2025 in order to meet the needs of Stride projects. soundtransit.org/st_sharepoint/…
To address cost savings for the Stride program, delay of parking projects is a big one. Although, the bus base could cut out $30 million by reducing bus storage capacity to 80 coaches instead of 120 coaches. Savings also come from fewer BAT lanes (SR-522) and station designs.
The Stride program is experiencing delays and is trending toward 2027 for start of service.
A project to be built recommendation on the Bus Base North project has been moved forward to the full board by the committee. soundtransit.org/st_sharepoint/…
A related measure moves forward to the full board for an increase of the on-call contract for general engineering consultant services of the Stride BRT program from $2M to $104M. soundtransit.org/st_sharepoint/…
