Description
The long-awaited Hilltop Link light rail extension in Tacoma is officially open to riders. The extension doubles the length of the "T-Line," providing service throughout the city with seven new stations.
It's a moment that's been a long time coming for commuters, travelers and local residents.
"Who would've thought when we took that vote, that we would finally be here, today actually opening up the T-Line, in Hilltop, Tacoma," said Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards.
The extension adds 2.4 miles of track with the seven stations. It runs every day in 12- to 20-minute intervals. The link extension is projected to double the current number of daily riders, increasing to about 4,000 people.
