PSRC is seeking public comment on the draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) through February 2. The plan will guide local planning and transportation investments for the future. It is important that it reflects the priorities of the community.
We need your help to reach more of the diverse residents and communities we serve throughout the central Puget Sound region. We have developed this toolkit to help you distribute information about the Regional Transportation Plan to help people in your community engage with us.
The draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) sets a course for maintaining and expanding our transportation network to ensure residents and goods can travel easily throughout the region. The plan is built on six foundations:
- Maintain and preserve the existing system
- Create a multimodal system that works for everyone
- Promote a safe and healthy transportation system
- Address the region’s climate goals
- Ensure the system performs for the region
- Develop a practical financial strategy
The draft plan would:
- Triple transit trips
- Help achieve climate goals by substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Grow walking trips in the region by 83% and biking trips by 58%
- Eliminate maintenance and preservation backlogs and ensure system is in excellent state of good repair
- Implement the Regional Safety Action plan to stop roadway deaths and serious injuries
We hope you will review the plan and share your thoughts. Visit our engagement hub to review the draft Regional Transportation Plan and comment.
