"The February 4, 2026 groundbreaking marks the start of construction of a relocated and rebuilt Renton Transit Center designed to serve Sound Transit's Stride S1 Bellevue-Burien line, local King County Metro services and the future RapidRide I Line, according to a press release issued by Sound Transit. This new Bus Rapid Transit 'Stride' line will truly knit our region together, bringing Renton the fast, reliable, and green transit service it has long deserved."
"Sound Transit is the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, the public agency responsible for planning, building and operating regional high-capacity transit services across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties in Washington State. The S1 line will connect Bellevue and Burien via Renton and Tukwila, operating primarily in high-occupancy vehicle lanes and dedicated transit infrastructure along the I-405 and SR 167 corridors."
Construction of a relocated Renton Transit Center began February 4, 2026. The center will serve Sound Transit's Stride S1 Bellevue-Burien line, King County Metro services, and the future RapidRide I Line. Stride S1 will operate along the I-405 and SR 167 corridors, connecting Bellevue and Burien via Renton and Tukwila, primarily in high-occupancy vehicle lanes and dedicated transit infrastructure. Stride will use battery-electric double-decker buses, providing frequent, quieter, and more comfortable service for riders. Service is scheduled to begin in 2028, and the center will integrate regional BRT operations with upgraded stations and improved rider experience.
