Destination 2030 is the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the central Puget Sound region, developed by the Puget Sound Regional Council to address transportation needs over a 30-year horizon as the region's population is expected to grow by over 1.5 million people. The plan covers all modes of transportation—including transit, roads, ferries, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities—and links land use planning with transportation investment strategies. It builds upon the 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Plan by providing improved guidance on funding, system management, and multimodal improvements across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.Open full document
