Tagwork plan(14)

This draft working document outlines the workplan for the first half of 2026 for the Commercial Aviation Work Group, presented at a meeting in Moses Lake, Washington on April 28, 2026. The group's mission is to evaluate the long-range commercial aviation and transportation needs of Washington State, exploring options such as expanding existing airports and multi-modal solutions rather than building a new airport. The document also includes a recap of the February meeting and references the group's broader goal of recommending practical solutions to meet regional travel demand.

It includes demographic data on population, housing, and employment growth across member jurisdictions, along with financial tables and an integrated planning timeline. Note that this budget document does not address Sea-Tac Airport noise policy; researchers seeking noise-related planning materials should consult dedicated airport or environmental planning resources.
