Sound Transit

Sound Transit intends to spend more on its future projects than any other local public agency and desires for diverse businesses to receive their fair share. The agency has contracted with our firm, Griffin & Strong, P.C., to conduct a Disparity Study that will analyze its spending and provide guidance on future spending opportunities with small and diverse businesses.

On April 22nd, 2019, business owners and business organizations across the Puget Sound are invited to comment about their experiences seeking contract opportunities both with Sound Transit and within the Puget Sound region.  Meetings will be held:
