This week’s Transpo Notes highlights include details on: Sound Transit’s new ticket vending machines, the Green Lake Outer Loop project, transit service changes, Angle Lake Station transit-oriented development, and café street and outdoor dining permit extension in Seattle.
Sound Transit testing new ticket vending machines
New ticket vending machines are being installed at Link stations as part of ORCA testing. The ORCA system will be enhanced as part of next generation technology. New ticket vending machines will be located at SeaTac/Airport, Capitol Hill, University District, Roosevelt, and Northgate Stations as part of testing. They will only issue paper tickets during the 12-week testing period. Eventually, they’ll be able to issue new ORCA cards and reload them with fare media. In the coming months, other fare machines and card reader kiosks will be replaced across the system to support the next generation of ORCA.
