TagRegional Transportation Plan(34)

The Puget Sound Regional Council's 2018 Regional Transportation Plan outlines how the central Puget Sound region, which has seen rapid population and job growth since 2010, intends to manage an additional one million residents by 2040. The plan details major investments across highway, transit, rail, ferry, bicycle, and pedestrian systems to reduce traffic congestion and better connect housing, employment centers, and freight hubs. It aims to provide equitable access to the region's natural, cultural, and recreational assets while keeping the transportation system sustainable through projected growth.

In a January 2018 letter to the Puget Sound Regional Council, Des Moines Mayor Matt Pina raised concerns about the disproportionate noise, air quality, and environmental burdens placed on Des Moines residents by Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's rapid growth, arguing these impacts are inadequately addressed in the Draft Regional Transportation Plan. The city called for sustainability, human health, and community impacts to be central factors in any decision to expand SeaTac's capacity or site a new regional airport. The letter also requested that the plan include discussion of a potential passenger ferry terminal in Des Moines as a multi-modal transportation alternative.

The VISION 2040 Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement, published by the Puget Sound Regional Council in July 2007, identifies a Preferred Growth Alternative for managing forecasted population and development growth in the Puget Sound region through the year 2040. It supplements a May 2006 Draft EIS that examined four conceptual growth alternatives, adding analysis of environmental impacts associated with the preferred option. The document was prepared in accordance with Washington State's Environmental Policy Act and invites public comment on regional growth planning policies.

The document's technical appendices provide detailed supporting data and analysis for the region's long-range transportation policies and investments.

The central Puget Sound region, located between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges and bisected by Puget Sound, faces significant transportation and infrastructure challenges driven by rapid population growth. The region's population grew from 1.5 million in 1960 to 3.2 million by 2000, with projections estimating 4.7 million residents and 2.6 million jobs by 2030. Economic expansion, particularly in aerospace and high-technology sectors, has been a primary driver of this growth, placing increasing demands on the region's transportation systems and natural resources.
