Plan Review Status & Certification Reports

State law requires PSRC to review and certify local comprehensive plans. Cities and counties must have a certified or conditionally-certified plan to be eligible to compete for PSRC’s regional transportation funds. 

Cities and counties were required to update their comprehensive plans by December 2024. The certification reports below show how 2024 plans met regional and state requirements. 

An asterisk (*) after the jurisdiction name means the plan is conditionally certified. Plans that are conditionally certified meet most planning requirements but require additional work to fully meet requirements. Jurisdictions with conditionally certified plans are eligible to apply for regional funding if they follow the conditions.

State law requires counties and cities to work together and prepare countywide planning policies. PSRC is required under state law to review and certify countywide planning policies.

VISION 2050 and the Regional Centers Framework require all regional centers to adopt subarea plans. Plans adopted in recent years have been reviewed and certified by PSRC (see reports below). All center plans must fully meet certification requirements by 2025. Some jurisdictions with regional centers have completed local planning work but continue to work with PSRC staff to ensure all regional certification requirements are met.
