Thriving Community Program
The Thriving Communities Initiative recognizes the power of local communities to drive innovation if they have the tools to succeed. This includes providing hands-on planning support through our partners, Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) and Accelerator for America, who will help us build upon local assets to co-design and advance infrastructure projects that address critical social, economic, environmental, and mobility needs in South Downtown Seattle.
The Thriving Communities Program connects us to a Community of Practice across the country for shared learning. Our grant runs through 2027 to help us coordinate the many transportation projects for maximum impact with our community priorities.

Why South Downtown?
South Downtown Seattle is a hub where all transportation services meet. Our neighborhood developed along the Seattle waterfront, with resources there supporting Coast Salish peoples long before white settlers came to the area. As early white settlers began to build Seattle, the port, railroads, roads, and sidewalks all converge here. South Downtown (Jackson) Hub is the area where King Street Station and Union Station dominate the streetscape.
Streetcar, buses, commuter rail, Amtrak, light rail, three highways, and freight and passenger traffic all come through here. Historic South Downtown supports strong investments in the neighborhoods surrounding this transportation hub to preserve the thriving mixed-use transit-oriented neighborhoods we've had for over a century.
