What is the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)?
The RTP acts as a blueprint for the central Puget Sound's future transportation network. The goal of the plan is to improve mobility throughout the region and ensure that all people equitably benefit from the region's transportation system.
It describes the investments and policies needed to create a safe, clean and efficient transportation system essential to the region's quality of life, health, and economy. Staff and elected officials from our cities, counties, transit agencies, and other organizations use the plan to help make decisions about the transportation network, from transit service to new sidewalks and safer roadways.
Visit the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan page to learn more about the current adopted plan.
Why update the RTP?
PSRC updates the RTP every four years per federal and state requirements. Since the last RTP was adopted in 2022, there has been a significant expansion to the region's high-capacity transit system, continued population growth, and changes in travel behavior following the pandemic. Regular updates to the plan ensure that transportation investments reflect the region's changing needs.
PSRC's Executive Board approved the scope of work for the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan in December 2024. Throughout 2025, PSRC will be reviewing the current transportation system, assessing future transportation needs, and developing the draft plan, as well as conducting public engagement and outreach. The Draft Regional Transportation Plan is expected to be released for public comment in December 2025, and plan adoption is scheduled for the 2026 General Assembly meeting.
