Sound Transit

Sound Transit has launched a pilot project with GoodMaps to offer digital wayfinding for its Westlake and International District/Chinatown stations on the 1 Line. The GoodMaps app uses light detection and ranging (LiDAR) mapping technology to create highly accurate 3D maps of large public spaces' interiors. It can also provide real-time, turn-by-turn directions for all passengers, including those who have visual or hearing impairments, are neurodivergent, or have limited mobility, as well as anyone who feels anxious or uncomfortable in new or complex environments. GoodMaps also supports different languages and multimodal integrations. If the pilot is successful, Sound Transit plans to launch GoodMaps to all Link light rail stations. GoodMaps is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, GoodMaps provides technology for universal and inclusive entrance-to-destination wayfinding.
