Destination 2030 is a long-term regional transportation plan for the greater Seattle area that outlines both short-term investments (prior to 2010) and longer-term improvements through 2030, focusing on roadway expansions, HOV lane completions, freight network connections, and reduced traffic congestion. The plan prioritizes safety, maintenance, and optimization of existing roads before pursuing new capacity projects, while also emphasizing travel alternatives and pedestrian and bicycle improvements. Fund allocations are guided by project readiness, regional need, and consistency with local growth management policies.Open full document
