Thlough an Interlocal Agreement, the City ofSeaTac and Port of Seattle are required D complete a Joint Transportation Study. The Study recognizes that passen- ger traffic at the Airport affects local traffic within the CiV Likewise, aMc withinthe City influences the e£fectiveness o£people movingto and fromt:he Airport. This Study will provide a'uni6ed analysis of the ground transportation needs of the area, as well as recommend& tions on the best way n meet those needs. ' The Study has two parts: City ofSeaTac’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s Ground Access Facility Plan Update + + Study Issues Like most urban areas within the State of Washington, the City of SeaTac is expected to experience significant growth in the future. This Study allows the City and the Port to create a comprehensive transportation plan to address impacts of this growth. The Study will outline a plan of action that accommodates transport& tion needs between now and 2020. Some of the Study topics include: + Passenger and Population Growth As the population of the area increases, the City of SeaTac needs to be able to accommodate the number of peopie using its streets. The City must develop a transponat:ion plan that allows for this growth, and that complies with the requirements of the Growth Man- agement: Act. Likewise, the Port of Seattle must develop a transportation plan that supports the Airport Master Plan Update and its activity forecasts. + Parking The SeaTac area has major parking needs. It must accommodate parking…

This agreement continues the partnership between the Port and the City which began with the City’s incorporation in 1990 and formalized by the original 1997 agreement. The current agreement was set to expire early in 2018. The new ten-year agreement establishes benefits for city residents and businesses, and supports the continued operation of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, as it serves regional demand and is the nation’s ninth-busiest airport in the U.S. “Elected officials and staff of both the Port and the City of SeaTac have worked hard over the last couple of years to strengthen the relationship between our two agencies,” said John Creighton, Port of Seattle Commissioner. “The Port is not only committed to working with SeaTac to address the impacts of living next to a major international airport, we also want to share with SeaTac residents the benefits that come from the robust economic activity generated by Sea-Tac Airport for our region. This ILA reflects our new spirit of cooperation.” Sea-Tac Airport is located entirely within the City of SeaTac boundaries, covering over 40 percent of the City’s…
