Strategy

The Growing Transit Communities Strategy is a three-part implementation plan to promote thriving and equitable transit communities in the central Puget Sound region and to provide tools and resources to implement adopted regional and local plans. The Strategy culminates a cross-sector, consensus-driven, corridor-based planning process and was informed by the robust analysis and stakeholder engagement of the Growing Transit Communities Partnership effort.
