The SAG is made up of selected community members representing neighborhoods along the project corridor and provides a forum for members to inform the development of alternatives for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions. The role of the SAG is to highlight issues and consider trade-offs, build consensus around key project decisions, and make recommendations to the Elected Leadership Group (ELG).

The ELG is made up of elected officials that represent the project corridor and the Sound Transit Board (STB). The purpose of this group is to reach consensus around key decisions and work through project issues as needed. The role of the ELG is to appoint SAG members, represent the communities they serve and share community priorities, consider the needs of the project within the context of the greater regional transit system, work with project staff to understand and evaluate trade-offs, and make recommendations to the STB.

Sound Transit is governed by an 18-member Board made up of local elected officials and the Secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation. The Board establishes policies and gives direction and oversight and, in the context of this project, the role of the Board is to oversee the implementation and delivery of the project, consider recommendations and feedback from the Elected Leadership Group and the public, and make key decisions including identifying a preferred alternative and other alternatives to study in the EIS.
