And they're going to meet it.
The line opens later this week.
On the other side of the country, Boston's public transit agency is upgrading a commuter rail station near the home of the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts, which will host seven World Cup matches.
Christian Milneal is editor of Streets Blog Mass, a local transportation news site.
Which just wouldn't cut it for thousands of international soccer fans boarding the train.
So by this summer, it'll have a new raised platform, ADA compliant, constructed in just one year.
That's warp speed by Massachusetts standards, Milneal says.
Upgrades like the ones in Foxborough and Seattle will last long after the tournament.
But in the short term, the Cup also presents a huge logistical challenge to transit agencies, says Jona Fremark at the Urban Institute.
And so most host cities plan to run extra buses and trains before and after games.
The federal government will pay for some of that service.
And at least for a few weeks, some cities will get a taste of what a more robust public transit system looks like.
In Kansas City, for example, the local World Cup host committee is renting 200 buses to create new temporary routes all over the region.
Eric Bunch is a city council member in Kansas City.
He hopes the extra World Cup service could influence local transit policy after the tournament ends.
Ones to serve local commuters, not just visiting soccer fans.

Nearly 50,000 TSA workers missed a paycheck last week, and if Congress doesn't act, they could miss another one next Friday.
That's led a few hundred TSA agents to quit, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told CNBC this week that about 10 percent of TSA officers are calling out of work on average.
