The U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) has granted Seattle regional transportation authority Sound Transit
a $327 million low-interest loan package for a host of improvements including the completion of the Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension.
"Sound Transit is our largest borrower, now at $4.17 billion," said US DOT's Build America Bureau Executive Director Morteza Farajia. "They are leveraging low-interest financing to build critical projects that will benefit passengers for years to come."
