Puget Sound Regional Council – Wikipedia

The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) is a metropolitan planning organization that develops policies and makes decisions about transportation planning, economic development, and growth management throughout the four- county Seattle metropolitan area surrounding Puget Sound. It is a forum for cities, towns, counties, transit agencies, port districts, Native American tribes, and state agencies to address regional issues.[4][5] Geography History Early history (1956–1991) Puget Sound Regional Council (1991–present) Activities Securing transportation funding VISION 2040 "BNSF Corridor Preservation Study" Prosperity Partnership Funding References External links The Puget Sound Regional Council serves the central Puget Sound region of Washington state. The region is made up of King County, Kitsap County, Pierce County, and Snohomish County, which collectively encompass 6,290 square miles (16,300 km2) and comprise 73 cities and towns. The five major cities are Seattle, Bellevue in King County, Tacoma in Pierce County, Everett in Snohomish County, and Bremerton in Kitsap County. The region's population was estimated to be over 3.8 million as of April 2014.[6] In 1956 the four counties of the Puget Sound region established the Puget Sound Regional Planning Conference, which changed its name to the Puget Sound Governmental Conference (PSGC) in 1958. It launched the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study (PSRTS) in 1962 with support from the Washington State Highway Commission, the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (predecessor of the Federal Highway Administration), Contents Geography History Early history (1956–1991) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Puget_Sound_Regional_Council_logo.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_planning_organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_planning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_development#Regional_policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(state) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puget_Sound_region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port http://www.psrc.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_planning_organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_planning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puget_Sound_region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_(United_States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport…
