What We Do
• Plan, Build and Operate
Express Bus
Light Rail
Commuter Train
• Where we operate
– Seattle urban area
– 3 counties – King, Pierce and
Snohomish
Light Rail Focus
• The Only Sound Transit SCADA system
• Diverse territory
• Unique in Nature - Downtown tunnel shared with bus traffic
• Substantial ridership growth
• Alignment expanding
• Endless challenges
Young, Developing &
Expanding
• Look ahead - 10+ years of expansion
• 2015-16 – new stations North and South
• 2020 and beyond moving East
What our SCADA Monitors
• Train Control • Building Management • Fire/Life/Safety – Emergency Ventilation • Possibly only USA location with shared bus and train operations
within Tunnels
Train and Bus locations Track Switches and Signals Electrical Systems Building Systems Fire Control Systems
Ventilation Systems Emergency Phones and
Cameras

Structure or Spaghetti?
• Do departments work in silos? • Operations has to make it work; needs help around systems • Does IT support SCADA? • Defining roles and responsibilities • Operational maintenance and operations outsourced?

Managing SCADA
• How do you cover everything?
• What happens if the “SCADA Guru” disappears?
IT’s Role in SCADA
• Does IT play critical role in SCADA?
• IT as a collaboration resource between various departments
• ST IT plays a SCADA Router and SCADA Network Switch Role in the Real World
• Cyber-Security
• Start-up & Commissioning, Testing, Maintenance, Standards development & implementation…….
Collaboration vs Separation
• The current norm is separation – Corporate/Agency IT and SCADA Operations do not typically work together
• The future… perhaps:
Collaboration Opportunities
• Cyber-Security, to include network security assessments
• Procurement – hardware and software
• IT knowledge – new technology (ie. Virtualization, tablets)
• Data sharing for ever increasing report requirements and customer service (real-time reporting)
