Sound Transit will not carry the riders it initially planned for and will require enormous additional revenues to finish the light rail vision promised to taxpayers. Given the extremely limited ridership, the high expense, and the state of Washington's overall transportation system, the time to reconsider the commitment to light rail is now. The question is whether Washington is committed to the Sound Transit vision regardless of efficiencies and opportunity costs, or do we allow our vision for light rail to give way to a more practical transportation system.
