Satellite Transit System
The Satellite Transit System (STS) is an automated people mover (APM) system operating in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Originally opening in 1969, the STS system is the second oldest airport people mover system in the United States. The APM was designed to quickly transport passengers between SeaTac Airport's Main Terminal and the North and South Satellites.

The original STS vehicles were built by Westinghouse and had a maximum capacity of 102 passengers. The average travel time for the two loops was 3.3 minutes, and 1.8 minutes on the shuttle, and each vehicle was estimated to amass annually.〔
In 1999, the Port of Seattle authorized $142 million to completely overhaul the entire STS system. The overhaul included all aspects of the system including trains, controls, power supplies, stations, emergency ventilation systems and maintenance shops.〔 The upgrade and modernization was completed in 2003.〔 〕 The 21, Bombardier Innovia APM 100 vehicles use CITYFLO 650 signaling technology and a radio Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system for its automated operation.〔
