TagMetroplitan Transportation Plan(10)

This appendix from the Puget Sound Regional Council's long-range transportation plan, Destination 2030, outlines the process for amending the plan and making major capacity investment decisions. It explains that the plan must be reviewed every three years under federal law and every two years under Washington State law, with air quality conformity statements required when amendments are made. The document also provides guidance on evaluating transportation corridor investments, assessing benefits and costs, and classifying projects as either 'Candidate' or 'Approved' for implementation.

This document describes the central Puget Sound region's Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS), a multi-modal network of roads, ferries, transit, rail, and aviation facilities serving King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. It outlines how regionally significant transportation facilities and services are identified and planned in accordance with federal and state requirements, including nine categories of statewide transportation significance. The document also provides a detailed breakdown of the region's approximately 16,790 miles of roadways by county, ownership, and functional classification as of 1999.

This document is a resources and references section from the Puget Sound Regional Council's 'Destination 2030' metropolitan transportation plan, listing planning publications, environmental impact statements, and transportation policy reports relevant to the Central Puget Sound region. It includes references to the SeaTac Airport Master Plan Update and its Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, alongside broader regional transportation and growth management studies. The document also credits the full Regional Council project team and policy board members involved in developing the plan.

Chapter 7 of the Destination 2030 regional transportation plan outlines how the Puget Sound Regional Council will monitor and assess progress toward its transportation goals through performance benchmarks, growth tracking, congestion management, and financial reporting. The plan establishes systems to measure land use patterns, travel behavior, and funding capacity across city streets, county roads, public transit, state highways, and ferries. Regular monitoring reports will help policymakers evaluate whether regional investments are achieving desired outcomes and allow for adjustments to planning and programming decisions over time.

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.

Destination 2030 is a metropolitan transportation plan published by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) on May 24, 2001, outlining regional transportation projects for the central Puget Sound area, covering King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. The plan was developed with involvement from dozens of member jurisdictions, ports, and state agencies, and was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, and Federal Highway Administration. It serves as a long-range framework for coordinating transportation infrastructure and mobility improvements across the greater Seattle-Tacoma region through the year 2030.

Destination 2030 is the Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the central Puget Sound region, developed by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and adopted on May 24, 2001. It serves as a long-range regional transportation blueprint covering King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, with input from dozens of member cities, counties, ports, and state agencies. The plan was funded in part through grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Washington State Department of Transportation.

It covers transportation planning across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, coordinating roads, transit, ports, and related infrastructure through a broad coalition of member cities, counties, and state agencies. The plan was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Destination 2030 is the metropolitan transportation plan for the central Puget Sound region, produced by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) and dated May 24, 2001. It covers transportation planning across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, with member jurisdictions including Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and numerous other cities and ports. The document's technical appendices provide detailed supporting data and analysis for the region's long-range transportation policies and investments.

This 1996 Puget Sound Regional Council document summarizes the multi-year planning process behind the decision to add a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It traces efforts dating back to the 1988 Regional Airport System Plan through environmental reviews, expert panel evaluations, and feasibility studies, concluding that no viable alternative sites or demand-management strategies could eliminate the need for the new runway. The approval was conditioned on additional noise reduction measures to address impacts on surrounding communities.
