Transit Improvement Plan Overview
The Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan (TIP) provides
a long-term forecast of project and transit mode costs, plus
reserves set aside for potential future expenditures.The
Sound Transit Board adopts the TIP and the annual budget
to authorize spending for the budget year, as well as lifetime
project budgets.
agency programs against the financial plan ensures a
balance of revenues and expenditures, as well as
affordability of the overall program. Sensitivity analysis,
using the financial plan, gauges the impact of potential
changes in the economy as well as changes in project
schedule and scope on overall program affordability.
Transit Modes
Project Budgeting
The TIP includes annual forecasts for six years of operating
expenses for each of the agency’s transit modes. The
expense forecasts are developed in a detailed long-term
operating and maintenance plan and reflect service plans
contained in the 2016 Service Implementation Plan (SIP).
Project Prioritization Process
During the development of the budget, the agency follows
an objective process to vet all proposed new projects and
increases to existing projects that are not part of the Sound
Move or ST2 programs. Projects are scored using objective
criteria including: safety, sustainability, regulatory, financial,
impact on asset “State of Good Repair,” system
enhancements, security, and impact on ridership. The goal
is to identify high-value, high-priority projects and pair them
with available resources.
Projects
The TIP includes project scope, schedule, budget, and risk
information for all active projects. Budget information is
presented at the phase-level including life-to-date costs,
annual spending forecasts for the upcoming six years,
summarized costs for years beyond this six-year period, and
the total authorized lifetime budget. Only board-approved
budget amounts are included. Where a baseline budget has
not been approved, the total budget only includes the
authorized phases. The baseline budget reflects the
estimated costs for the entire project and is used to measure
actual project budget performance. For most projects,
Phase Gate status is also provided. For ST2 projects only,
cost estimate information is shown in the Projects section
and in Appendix A. Lifetime budgets for active Sound Move
projects are shown in Appendix B.
Budget Approval and Phase Gate Process
Prior to 2010, the Sound Transit Board approved project
lifetime budgets at the outset of a capital project. Since 2010,
our approach to project budgeting has been modified to
provide greater Board oversight and control. As projects
reach key milestones, requests for budget approval to
complete the next project phase are presented for Board
approval. Phase Gate, our project management oversight
process, confirms that the project is ready to move forward
to the next phase and triggers the request to the Board for
additional budget. There are exceptions to having projects
pass through each gate in sequence, such as procurements
and alternative contracting methods, as in design-bid-build.
Reserves
The TIP includes reserves that are set aside for both
planned and unplanned expenditures. Reserves are not
considered appropriations, and Board authorization is
required to use reserved funds.
Typical budget requests include funding for:
Financial Plan
In addition to the TIP that is published annually, Sound
Transit maintains a long-term agency financial plan – a

The initial project development budget includes alternatives
analysis to shape the scope of the project and selection of a
preferred alternative, compliance with environmental
requirements which may include an Environmental Impact
Statement, development of operations and maintenance
plans, and preliminary engineering for the preferred
alternative.
A final design and right-of-way budget includes funding for
all design work – civil, structural, electrical and HVAC,
systems and architectural through to construction
procurement documentation, as well as purchase or lease of
all property needed to build the project.
A baseline budget is established during final design when
sufficient information is available to establish a project’s cost
through construction. Project spending is benchmarked
against the baseline through completion of the project.
Projects are fully funded when the Board approves the
baseline.
Cost Estimates
Each ST2 capital project has a cost estimate that originated
from the 2008 voter-approved plan. Original ST2 cost
estimates, 2015 cost estimates, and 2016 cost estimates for
ST2 projects appear in Appendix A.
Our cost estimates are maintained on a current year,
constant dollar basis. For instance, in the 2016 TIP, full
project cost estimates are presented in constant 2015
dollars. However, the Board approves budgets in year-ofexpenditure dollars to take into account the fact that project
spending occurs over several years and so must be adjusted
for inflation.

Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
Transit Modes
The Adopted 2016 TIP contains forecasted expenses to
operate and maintain the regional transit system from 2016
– 2021. Operating expenses include the costs of third-party
operators for light rail, commuter rail, and bus services, as
well as Sound Transit’s direct costs for providing those
services.
In 2016, service levels provided by three of Sound Transit’s
four modes will be increasing. In the fourth quarter of 2016,
an additional round trip for Sounder commuter rail service is
planned. An additional 19,750 service hours (annualized
32,000 hours in future years) will be phased in for ST
Express service to help mitigate East Link Extension
construction congestion and address capacity and schedule
issues on many routes.
As a part of the annual budget, the Sound Transit Board
approves spending for each of these modal services for the
following fiscal year. The agency also maintains a Service
Implementation Plan (SIP) that includes service level and
expenditure forecasts for a six-year period. The 2016 SIP
provides the service plan on which the Adopted 2016 Budget
is based. Reviewed and recommended by the Operations
and Administration Committee, the Board adopts the 2016
SIP at the same time as adopting the budget for 2016. The
TIP only includes summary spending information for the sixyear period described in the SIP. The SIP may be read at
www.soundtransit.org.
In March 2016, Link expansion north to the University of
Washington will open, followed later in the year by the
addition of light rail service south to Angle Lake Station at
South 200th Street in SeaTac. In 2021, light rail service north
to Northgate will begin. Additional extensions of light rail
service are planned for 2023 north to Lynnwood, south to
Kent/Des Moines in the vicinity of Highline Community
College, and east to Overlake in Redmond. There are no
changes planned for Tacoma Link light rail service through
2020; however, fare collection is proposed to begin in late
2016. The extension of Tacoma Link service approved by
voters in ST2 is moving through the planning process, and
is projected to open in late 2021.

Projects
The Adopted 2016 TIP contains all board-authorized budgets for active projects. The majority of Sound Transit’s projects support
the planning, design, and construction of light rail, commuter rail, and express bus transit infrastructure as described in the
Sound Move and ST2 plans. The TIP uses project categories, which align with common industry practice and provides
transparency into the agency’s investment in expanding service versus investment in existing assets. Projects are also reported
by program.

The Projects section of the TIP document displays project lifetime budgets primarily in terms of cash flow – what year dollars will
be spent and on which phase of a project. The total budget to complete a project is not necessarily included in the TIP because
the agency’s Phase Gate process requires most project budgets be approved by the Board in phases, rather than all at once.
There are a number of terms that require definition in order to clearly understand the tables in this section.
Life to Date – Sum of all project expenditures prior to the budget year.
Annual Cash Flow – Annual projected expenditures are shown for six years beginning with the budget year.
Future – Refers to the sum of projected expenditures for years seven and beyond.
Total – The total Board-approved budget for a project. It may be just preliminary engineering, final design, and right-of way, or it
could be the budget for the entire project budget.
Each of the project detail pages include the type and amount of the Board-approved lifetime budget. Lifetime budget is stated in
year-of-expenditure dollars (YOE$). Appendix B contains a summary of lifetime budgets for active Sound Move projects.
Cost Estimates – Most comparable to a baseline budget—cost estimates are for the entire project scope. Cost estimates are
periodically updated as new information becomes available. Estimates are also adjusted each year for inflation and stated in
constant-year dollars.
For ST2 projects only, project detail pages in the following subsections show project cost estimates. Cost estimates for 2008 (the
year ST2 was adopted by voters), 2015, and 2016 are stated in constant-2015 dollars. A summary of ST2 cost estimates is
provided in Appendix A.

Project Summaries and Detail Pages
In the Projects section, details pertaining to each project are provided as well as summaries of each program.
Summary Tables
Summary tables for all budgets approved by the Board include three views:

Projects by budget approval phase. Two exceptions are programs, which are comprised of a number of projects, and
reserves.

Subarea by allocation to Sound Transit’s five geographic subareas.

Project phase, by the agency’s work breakdown structure phases that group costs relative to activities and deliverables
such as final design, construction, and startup and testing.
Project Detail
Each active project has a full page that covers scope, lifetime budget and cashflow detail, phase gate status, and schedule and
budget risk information. For ST2 projects, cost estimate updates are included. The following is an explanation of terms used in
the project pages.
Capital Budget (in YOE dollars)
Phase Gate Passed
The most recent gate passed indicates a project’s progress. Certain Sound Move projects pre-date implementation of our Phase
Gate process and are not required to pass through gates that they would have if the process had been in place at that time.
Pending – Projects that will pass through Gate 1 before the end of the coming year
Gate 1 – Enter Project Development
Gate 5 – Establish Baseline
Gate 2 – Identify Alternatives
Gate 6 – Proceed to Construction
Gate 3 – Identify Preferred Alternative
Gate 7 – Transition to Operations
Gate 4 – Enter Final Design
Gate 8 – Close Out Project
None – Projects that advanced through project development prior to implementation of Phase Gate (includes some Sound Move
projects).
N/A – Projects not subject to the Phase Gate process, e.g., procurements, installation of equipment, etc.
Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
5 of 140
Baseline
Baseline budget is the lifetime budget for the entire project in year of expenditure dollars. The baseline budget is established
once the project scope and schedule are defined.
2015 TIP
Project lifetime budget authorized by the Board in 2015 or prior.
2016 TIP
Project lifetime budget authorized by the Board in 2016 or prior.
ST2 Project Cost Estimate (in 2015 dollars)
This section of the project page is for ST2 projects only and provides a history of funded cost estimate updates in constant
dollars. Cost estimates provided include the original 2008 estimate, prior year estimate, and budget year estimate.
Budget Risk Assessment
Estimate Type
Basis of current budget estimate used for a project:

Initial Estimate – Sound Move or ST2 program plans

Planning – preliminary conceptual estimate developed for specific sites based on limited project information

Conceptual Engineering

Scoping – itemized right-of-way and construction costs on an estimated unit price basis

PE/ED – preliminary engineering/environmental design

Final Design

Construction – full design drawings, specifications, and known unit prices

Fixed Contribution – contractual amount of funds Sound Transit is to contribute to a project implemented by another
transit agency or governmental entity. This may not reflect a project’s total cost estimate.
Budget Risk Level
Overall risk level for each project is classified as low, medium, or high, depending on the presence of uncertainties that could
impact the scope or budget.
Schedule Risk Assessment
Schedule Risk Level
Overall risk level for each project is classified as low, medium, or high depending on the presence of risk factors that could
impact the completion schedule for budgeted phases. If the project has a baseline budget, then risk is assessed at the level of
the entire project through to putting the asset into service.
2015 Budget Schedule
The year anticipated for completion of the budgeted phases of the project at the time the 2015 TIP is published.
2016 Budget Schedule
The year anticipated for completion of the budgeted phases of the project at the time the 2016 TIP is published.
Project Risk Assessment
Explanation of the budget or schedule risk for the budgeted phases of the project.

Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
System Expansion – Link
As a relatively young transit system, the majority of Sound Transit’s project budget is focused on building light rail to connect the
region. Both Sound Move and ST2 programs funded light rail facilities and tracks – in tunnels, at grade, and elevated. By 2023,
these two programs will extend light rail north to Lynnwood, south to Federal Way, and east to the Overlake area of Redmond.
Highlights

Complete University Link and South 200th Street Link extensions and begin passenger service along these two new light
rail extension segments.

Begin construction on East Link Extension segments in south Bellevue, downtown Bellevue-Spring District, and Bel-Red
area, with tunneling in Bellevue.

Complete preliminary engineering for a 7.8-miles light rail extension from South 200th Street to Federal Way Transit
Center and begin final design for just the first 2.4-mile segment to Kent/Des Moines Road.

Continue with final design and construction for Northgate Link Extension.

Begin final design for Lynnwood Link Extension.

Complete preliminary engineering of the preferred alternative to expand Tacoma Link.

Enhancements to Tacoma Link Expansion
Managed by: FIT
Scope: Engineering and streetscape design for transit access improvements and station area enhancements around the Tacoma Link Expansion
project. This project is also focused on job access needs and identify barriers that currently limit the Tacoma Hilltop residents from participation in
existing workforce training and apprenticeship programs. The City of Tacoma and Sound Transit received a $2,000,000 grant from the Federal Transit
Administration for this project. Sound Transit is the designated recipient and needs to administer the grant while the City of Tacoma will execute the
scope and provide the $500,000 in local matching funds.
The scope of this project is independent of the Tacoma Link Expansion project
Changes in lifetime budget since 2015: Resolution R2015-36 established this project during the 2016 budget development process.

Project Risk Assessment
Although the risk is low in both schedule and budget, this project will be managed by a third party and Sound Transit will submit costs for
reimbursement. In situations such as this, the risk of not recovering funds due to ineligibility or a delay in schedule always exists.

Federal Way Link Extension
Managed by: PEPD
Scope: Federal Way Link Extension project adds approximately 7.8 miles of light rail from S. 200th Street in the city of SeaTac to the Federal Way
Transit Center. Alternatives analysis and environmental scoping were completed in 2013 and a draft environmental impact statement was published in
April 2015. Completion of preliminary engineering and publication of a Final Environmental Impact Statement is anticipated in late 2016. The project
will transition to final design in 2017. Currently, the agency's Financial Plan includes construction for the initial 2.4-mile segment to Kent/Des Moines
only. The Board has approved additional budget (Resolution R2016-04) to complete preliminary engineering from Kent/Des Moines through to Federal
Way Transit Center.
Changes in lifetime budget since 2015: With Resolution R2016-04, the Board approved an additional $5.9 million to include preliminary engineering
from Kent/Des Moines Station to Federal Way Transit Center, plus additional third-party coordination and right-of-way activities to the project scope.

Northgate Link Extension
Managed by: DECM
Scope: The Northgate Link Extension extends light rail 4.3-miles from the University of Washington Station north under the campus via twin bored
tunnels to an underground U-District Station along Brooklyn Avenue NE between NE 43rd and NE 45th Streets, and underground Roosevelt Station
along 12th Avenue NE between NE 65th Street and NE 67th Street, and continuing to an elevated station in Northgate along 1st Avenue NE spanning
NE 103rd Street. The Northgate Link Extension is scheduled to be completed in September 2021 and will provide an interim terminus for Link at
Northgate until the Lynnwood Link Extension is in service, currently anticipated in 2023.
The budget was amended by two resolutions of the Sound Transit Board for a net reduction of $231.6 million to the project baseline budget; in
September 2015 to transfer budget for Vehicles to the new ST2 LRV Fleet Expansion project (Resolution R2015-23), and in October 2015 to increase
the baseline budget for changes to the U District Station to accommodate transit-oriented development (Resolution R2015-25).

Project Risk Assessment
Budget and schedule risks significantly decreased after the completion of tunneling work in 2013. Some low-level risk associated with tighter
constraints and coordination between Civil station contractors and Systems contractor. Some additional risk had surfaced regarding the LRV retrofit
project; although those risks were captured in that project. Execution of an early revenue service start date could be affected by coordination of
contractors and work necessary for completion.

Point Defiance Bypass
Managed by: DECM
Scope: Sound Transit will administer the construction of the Point Defiance Bypass Project which will construct a new second track adjacent to Sound
Transit’s existing main line between South Tacoma (South 66th Street Bridge) and Lakewood (Bridgeport Way) and install new rails, ties, and ballast
on Sound Transit’s existing track between Lakewood and Nisqually. Improvements will be made at the connection to BNSF’s main line near Nisqually
and safety improvements will be made at some existing at-grade crossings within the project corridor.
The project started in 2014 with $6.4 million lifetime budget which is used for the procurement of a construction services contract, right-of-way
acquisition, and associated staff costs to administer the same in support of the construction of a second track between South Tacoma and Lakewood.
These costs are reimbursable through the Federal High Speed Rail grant administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT).

Although the majority of Sound Transit’s projects are related to expanding the regional transit system, work is planned and
ongoing to improve operating efficiency and effectiveness, improve the rider experience, increase system functionality, or reduce
operating costs.
Highlights

Install more energy efficient LED lighting at Kent, Sumner, and Puyallup Sounder stations.

Begin operation of Positive Train Control (PTC) to increase operational safety of commuter rail.

Design and install a second light rail vehicle lift at the Link Operations & Maintenance Facility.

Upgrade the Link Closed Circuit Television System (CCTV) to be compatible with technology installed for the University
Link and South 200th Link extensions.

Install heating systems in washers for light rail vehicles, in order to allow for all-weather operation and reduce hazards to
operators in freezing weather conditions.

Positive Train Control
Managed by: DECM
Scope: Integrate command, control, communications, and information systems for controlling passenger train movements with safety, security,
precision, and efficiency. These systems will improve railroad safety by significantly reducing the probability of collisions between trains, casualties to
railway workers and damage to their equipment, and over speed accidents. Federal regulations had previously mandated that PTC be operational on
all passenger rail systems by the end of December 2015, but this was recently extended by three years. The project was originally scheduled to be
completed in 2015, however due to third party delays, it will now likely complete in third quarter of 2016. Budget displayed in 2017 is considered
surplus at this time.

ST Express Mobile Communications
Managed by: Operations
Scope: As part of the operation of the ST Express bus fleet, mobile communications are necessary to ensure driver and passenger safety, to enhance
the customer service information, and to improve the information available to the service planning function. The existing mobile communications
systems are aging and in need of upgrades. In addition, this investment allows the ST Express bus fleet to be compatible with partner communication
systems. A signed project participation agreement with Pierce Transit was executed in 2007. This project is in service. It was tested and accepted in
2010. Agreements for ST project participation with King County Metro and Community Transit projects were approved by the Board in 2008. These
projects were completed in 2014, any remaining funds in this project are considered surplus.

Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
Administrative
Administrative projects are not specific to any transit mode or capital program. However, these projects fund disposition of
surplus real estate, procurement of administrative equipment, facilities, and technology, as well as administrative support critical
to the successful operation of the agency. Administrative costs that support projects are charged to construction in progress and
capitalized with the resulting assets.
Highlights

Replace eight non-revenue vehicles used by administrative staff.

Replace asphalt shingles on the Union Station administration building.

Continue landscape and wetland hydrology mitigation and maintenance activities at selected Sound Transit properties.

Procure and implement the eBid system to improve vendor solicitation process.

Investigate the potential of a business intelligence system to enhance usability of agency and industry data.

Agency Administration Operating
Managed by: FIT
Scope: Funds administrative overhead expenses that are charged to capital projects and overhead expenses that are not allocated to either
projects or transit operations. Overhead expenses allocated to projects are included in the capitalized cost of the resulting assets. Unallocated
overhead expenses are included in general and administrative expenses for the agency.
The agency uses a cost allocation plan approved by the Federal Transit Administration. Use of this approved model makes the majority of indirect
project expenses eligible for federal grant funding. The project timeline coincides with that of the ST2 program: 2010 - 2023.

Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
Reserves
The 2016 TIP includes life to date contributions to the
agency’s various reserves as well as expected future
contributions through 2023, which corresponds with the
expected completion of ST2.
Emergency/Loss
Systemwide Contingency
While the agency maintains a comprehensive insurance
program, the policies do contain retentions (deductibles),
which the agency would have to cover in the event of an
insurable loss. In such instances, the Board could authorize
the use of the emergency/loss fund on a case-by-case basis.
The systemwide contingency was established as part of the
Sound Move program and was supplemented in the ST2
plan. This fund is for use by the Board to deal with any
unforeseen events.
Capital Replacement
Insurance Systemwide
The agency maintains a minimum $300.0 million reserve for
unanticipated expenditures necessary to keep the system in
good working condition. In addition, the agency maintains a
forecast of the funds necessary to repair and replace
existing assets to keep the regional transit system in a state
of good repair, consistent with industry standards. These
forecasts are included in the agency’s long-term financial
plan as a financial commitment. When such investments are
required, they are added to the budget and TIP in the Repair
& Replacement project category.
The insurance systemwide reserve is forecasted to be
funded beginning in 2016 when major new construction gets
underway. It will be available to partially pay for builders’ risk
insurance in conjunction with funds provided by building
contractors.
Operations & Maintenance
Sound Transit’s financial policies require the agency to
maintain an operation and maintenance reserve equal to two
months of department operating expenses, including costs
allocated to transit modes and projects.

Appendix A – Sound Transit 2 Cost Estimates
The agency maintains cost estimates for all of its projects
that are funded in the agency’s financial plan. These
estimates are updated as new engineering, right-of-way,
public outreach, and other project information are
developed. Project cost estimates are updated prior to
seeking Board authorization of budgets for preliminary
engineering, final design, and right-of-way acquisition, and
baseline budget, which includes total project costs and
construction.
ST2 cost estimates were initially developed and reported in
2007 constant-year dollars. To enable comparisons
between cost estimates, the figures in this appendix have
been updated to 2015 constant-year dollars based on the
agency’s August 2015 inflation forecasts. The table on the
next page includes the following information:

2008 cost estimates from the initial ST2 plan
approved by voters in November 2008.

2015 cost estimates match the adopted 2015 TIP.

2016 cost estimates include all ST2 projects
currently funded in the agency’s financial plan.
The changes to the cost estimates between 2015 and 2016
include:


Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
Appendix C – Sound Transit Project Phases
Projects are typically planned and executed in phases. Project teams track and report on project costs relative to the activities
and deliverables in each. Project phases include:
01 – Operations+Maintenance
Costs to operate and maintain capital assets where the
budget to do so is part of an established lifetime budget.
Currently used to maintain Sound Transit’s public art
assets.
02 – Operations+Maintenance-Agency
Costs that cannot be capitalized. Currently used for
Research and Technology project costs incurred prior to
the establishment of project scope.
09 – Administrative Capital
Design, development and implementation or procurement
of Agency assets such as non-revenue vehicle fleet, IT
systems, furniture, and equipment.
10 – Agency Administration
Administrative expenditures occur throughout the life of the
project and include costs for direct labor by Sound Transit
staff (staff dedicated to specific projects) and other direct
charges to the project necessary for project execution.
20 – Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Review
Professional services to complete the preliminary
engineering and environmental assessments and
evaluations. Preliminary engineering identifies project
requirements and defines the project work scope. This
includes preliminary design studies, permitting
requirements, data collection, public involvement, legal and
technical documentation, cost estimates, and assessment
of alternatives. The environmental review includes
achievement of all necessary environmental permits.
26 – Research & Technology
Implementation of new transit technologies focused on
systemwide safety, security and communications with
passengers.
30 – Final Design & Specification
Final design includes professional consultant activities to
complete design and full construction plans and
specifications, legal and technical documentation,
environmental clearance, constructability review, value
engineering, data collection, advertising, assessment of
alternatives related to project design, and bid reviews.
35 – Third Parties
rather than the lead agency, it includes Sound Transit’s
funding obligation to the lead agency.
40 – Right-of-Way (ROW) Acquisition & Permits
ROW includes the cost to purchase or lease real property
required for construction and construction staging,
easements, rights-of-way, and any residential or
commercial relocations. This phase includes budget for
negotiating the purchase price, relocation costs, surveys,
appraisals, environmental audits, permits, legal costs,
maps, charts, and all permits not included under the
general construction contracts.
50 – Construction
Construction covers project construction contracts,
professional and technical assistance, advertising, legal
and technical documentation, inspection, testing, and
permitting. In addition, the construction budget includes
service startup, commissioning of all systems, and training.
55 – Construction Services
Construction Services includes construction management
and other professional services in support of the Agency’s
management of construction activities.
61 – Art
Procurement and installation of public art at stations and
along guideways.
70 – Vehicles
Procurement, manufacture, delivery, testing, and
commissioning of revenue vehicles, spare parts, and
warranty support. Also includes procurement of nonrevenue vehicles.
80 – Startup and Testing
Includes tests of new systems, new schedules, and various
specific equipment. This phase includes the training of
personnel before the completion of the project to identify
issues and correct them to enable a smooth transition to
operations and the close out of the project.
90 – Contingency
Contingency provides a funding source to address general
project risks, such as market fluctuations and changes in
regulatory requirements. It also covers unforeseen
expenses and cost estimate variances.
Third party expenditures occur through the life of the
project and include agreements with other governmental
units to reimburse their costs for review of alternatives,
design review, and construction monitoring and inspection.
In certain cases, when Sound Transit is a funding partner
Adopted 2016 Transit Improvement Plan
129 of 140
Appendix D – Subarea Allocations
The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority
(Sound Transit) has implemented an accounting and
reporting system consistent with the financial policies
approved in the ST2 voter-approved program. Annually,
Sound Transit (the agency) prepares a Schedule of
Sources and Uses of Funds by Subarea (the schedule) that
is based on the agency’s audited financial statements and
the agency’s long-term Financial Plan. The schedule
reports actual tax revenues received by subarea and an
allocation to each subarea of other sources and uses
earned.
This system is integrated into the agency’s system of
internal control over financial reporting, ensuring the
integrity of the information reported and providing
management, the Board, and the Citizen Oversight Panel
required information to monitor progress against Sound
Transit’s subarea commitments to its voters.
Annually, the agency’s financial statement auditors perform
agreed upon procedures which look at the allocation of
sources and uses of funds presented. These procedures
were developed by management, reviewed by the Citizen
Oversight Panel, and approved by the Audit and Reporting
Committee of the Board. All results from independent
examinations are presented to the Board.
This appendix provides the drivers that will be used to
allocate sources and uses to subareas in 2015 as well as
new projects for 2016. Any additional projects are added at
the end of the year when subarea allocations are
calculated.

2016 TIP to Adopted 2016 TIP
There are three circumstances when the project lifetime
budget would change from the Proposed TIP to the
Adopted TIP:
The TIP contains Board-approved lifetime budget for active
projects by phase and year of expenditure forecast. The
Proposed TIP, and any amendments to it before the Board
adopts the Budget and TIP, is approved by the annual
budget resolution. Additional changes to the Proposed TIP
arise from budget amendments approved as separate
Board actions, in the time between publication of the
Proposed and Adopted TIP, or from non-material error
corrections. The 2016 TIP was adopted by Resolution No.
R2015-36 on December 17, 2015. The TIP also includes
summary level six year forecasts for Transit Mode
expenses contained in the 2016 Service Implementation
Plan (SIP).
