DIRECTOR’S REPORT Kelly McGourty, Director of Transportation Planning, PSRC, informed the board of the upcoming second event of the regional electric vehicle coordination group that was formed last year in partnership with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and the Cities of Seattle and Tacoma. The draft VISION 2050 plan calls for PSRC to continue work related to electrification of the transportation system, and electrification is included in the four-part greenhouse gas strategy in the current transportation plan. The first outreach event of the coordination group was held on October 31, 2019. The second event, to include speakers from a local jurisdiction, a utility and the Washington State University, is scheduled for March 13. The Policy Framework for PSRC’s federal funds was adopted in January and the call for projects was released February 3. Workshops will be held in each of the four counties. The board will be briefed on project recommendations in July. Ms. McGourty shared that there was an information item in the agenda regarding the Draft FY2020-21 Supplemental Biennial Budget and Work Program. CONSENT AGENDA a. Approve Minutes of the Transportation Policy Board Meeting held January 9, 2020 b. Routine Amendment to the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) c. Recommend Conditional Certification of Black Diamond Comprehensive Plan ACTION: The motion was made by Councilmember Kate Kruller

and seconded by Councilmember Jennifer Robertson to adopt the Consent Agenda. The motion passed.

2020 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN AMENDMENT Kelly McGourty, PSRC, informed the board that the current Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) has an adopted financial strategy covering projected transportation revenues and expenditures in the region through 2040. Most of the investments in the financial strategy are programmatic. There are a smaller number of projects that are larger in scale and modify capacity of the regional system, and those are identified on the Regional Capacity Projects List. Ms. McGourty provided background on the types of projects on the Regional Capacity Projects List and how they move forward in the plan. She also shared details of the constrained plan versus unprogrammed. Ms. McGourty shared the types of amendments allowed in the RTP and outlined in the Administrative Procedures appendix. She reviewed the process for the current minor plan amendment, which was released in November 2019, and the review that was conducted. Requests for 22 project revisions were submitted resulting in an increase of $1.9 billion to the financial strategy, which is primarily due to cost updates for three

5.a

Packet Pg. 4

Doc ID 2845

Sound Transit projects. Ms. McGourty provided information on the assessment of the amendment and the consistency with the adopted procedures. Board members had a robust discussion regarding what should be considered minor versus major amendments, with particular concern noted regarding the size of the cost increase in the current amendment. The board noted that the cost increases to those projects will happen regardless, and the amendment provides an opportunity to accurately reflect that information in the plan.

ACTION: The motion was made by Councilmember Kate Kruller and seconded by Councilmember Jennifer Robertson to recommend the Executive Board adopt a minor amendment to the Regional Transportation Plan to reflect revisions to the Regional Capacity Project list as identified in Attachment A.

AMENDMENT: The motion was made by Mayor Don Anderson and seconded by Councilmember Cynthia Jacobsen to remove project plan ID 2520 Link LRT extension from Northgate to Lynwood from the approval of the motion and postpone for future action. The amendment failed.

ACTION: The motion was made by Councilmember Kate Kruller and seconded by Councilmember Jennifer Robertson to recommend the Executive Board adopt a minor amendment to the Regional Transportation Plan to reflect revisions to the Regional Capacity Project list as identified in Attachment A. The motion passed.

EAST-WEST INTERCITY PASSENGER RAIL STUDY Mark Foutch, All Aboard Washington, provided background of intercity passenger rail in Washington state. Mr. Foutch shared details of a feasibility study on passenger rail services in Washington. All Aboard Washington is advocating for passenger rail to be extended to the Yakima Valley. I-976 SURVEY RESULTS Ryan Thompto, PSRC, shared that PSRC has surveyed jurisdictions that have current projects with PSRC’s federal funds to determine how they may be impacted by Initiative 976 (I-976). Mr. Thompto provided an overview of the survey questions and the limitations of the survey. Mr. Thompto shared that of the 184 current projects, 12 may be potentially impacted by I-976. He reviewed the characteristics of the 12 projects, discussing potential impacts by year, project type, phase and fund type. He also shared how jurisdictions are planning responses for those potentially impacted projects. Mr. Thompto shared that the survey indicates there is minimal risk of adverse impact on the region’s ability to meet the annual delivery target for Federal Highway Administration funds. Next steps are to continue monitoring PSRC funded projects to ensure delivery.

REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOCUS AREAS Gil Cerise, PSRC, provided background on the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and draft plan schedule. Mr. Cerise discussed key planning work that will help inform the update of the RTP. The next six months will help identify key focus areas for this plan update and prepare for the SEPA scoping and public outreach in the summer. Kelly McGourty, PSRC, shared two polls to facilitate board member feedback on key focus areas for the plan update. The first poll asked for feedback on a list of potential key focus areas populated from previous board discussions and the draft VISION 2050, and the second poll was open ended to allow for other suggestions. Results from the first poll supported the initial focus areas proposed. Results from the second poll will be summarized by staff at a future meeting. Mr. Cerise shared that the next steps will be to identify break-out sessions and continue to work with the board on developing these focus areas. Board members continued to share feedback on areas the plan should cover. DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL BIENNIAL BUDGET AND WORK PROGRAM (FY2020-2021) Information on the Draft Supplemental Biennial Budget and Work Program FY2020-2021 was included in the agenda packet. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 11:28 a.m.

CONSENT AGENDA July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board From: Kelly McGourty, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Routine Amendment to the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement

Program (TIP) IN BRIEF Three agencies submitted twelve projects this month for routine amendment into the Regional TIP. These projects are summarized in Exhibit A. These projects were awarded local, state, and federal funding through various processes, such as Connecting Washington funds managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation. PSRC staff reviewed the projects for compliance with federal and state requirements, and consistency with VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Executive Board should adopt an amendment to the 2019-2022 Regional TIP to include the projects as shown in Exhibit A. DISCUSSION Under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, PSRC has project selection authority for all projects programming regional funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) - Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) - and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) - Urbanized Area Formula Program (5307), State of Good Repair (5337), Bus and Bus Facilities Formula (5339), and Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (5310). While PSRC does not have project selection authority for other types of federal, state, or local funds, the Executive Board does have responsibility for adding these projects to

5.b

Packet Pg. 9

Doc ID 2846

the Regional TIP. Each project must comply with requirements regarding plan consistency, air quality, and financial constraint. The attached Exhibit A illustrates the action needed to amend the Regional TIP. The recommended action would approve the TIP amendment request based on a finding of consistency with VISION 2040, the Regional Transportation Plan, and the air quality conformity determination of the Regional TIP. Approval is also based on a determination that funding is reasonably expected to be available to carry out the project. Information describing plan consistency, air quality conformity, and the funding basis for approving the request is described further below. Consistency with VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan The projects recommended for action were reviewed by PSRC staff and have been determined to be consistent with the multicounty policies in VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan. Air Quality Conformity The projects in Exhibit A were reviewed and it has been determined that a new air quality analysis and conformity determination is not required because each project falls into one or more of the following categories:

• It is exempt from air quality conformity requirements.

• It is an existing project already included in the current air quality modeling.

• It is a non-exempt project not able to be included in the regional model. Funding Reasonably Expected to be Available For the projects in Exhibit A, PSRC confirmed that the funds are reasonably expected to be available. PSRC’s Project Tracking Policies Detailed below is a request from Kitsap Transit for modifications to PSRC’s FTA funds for this amendment. The modifications were found to be consistent with PSRC’s project tracking policies and were reviewed and recommended by the Transportation Operations Committee. Kitsap Transit requests a redistribution of $6,457,000 in 2019 and 2020 FTA Earned Share funds. The redistribution is needed for additional operating assistance due to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kitsap Transit requests to redistribute funds from its "Bus and OTR Coach Purchase" to its "KT Transit Operations (2018-2020)" project. After the redistribution, Kitsap Transit will reduce the "Bus and OTR Coach Purchase" project scope by approximately twelve vehicles. The "KT Transit Operations (2018-2020)" project will use the increase in funding from the redistribution to support approximately 80,700 additional hours of operations.

New construction phase in this project, the I-90/SR 18 interchange experiences severe congestion during AM/PM peak commute periods. This congestion impacts access to and from the City of Snoqualmie and contributes to delay in the transport of trucked goods to and from the ports of Tacoma and Seattle. Truck traffic circulating through the existing weigh station adds to the severity of the congestion at this interchange. Queues regularly extend to mainline I-90 during peak hours, increasing the risk of rear end collisions. By re-constructing the interchange, eliminating the weigh station, and widening SR 18, safety and mobility will be improved.

CONSENT AGENDA July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board From: Kelly McGourty, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Recommend Authorizing a Change in the Regional Transportation

Plan Project Status for the Hospital Area Multimodal Connections Project

IN BRIEF King County Parks has submitted a request to change the status of the Hospital Area Multimodal Connections Project, a segment of the larger Eastside Rail Corridor Trail Project, from “Candidate” to “Approved.” Per PSRC’s adopted procedures, requests to change a project status require Board action. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Transportation Policy Board should recommend the Executive Board authorize a change in project status for the King County Parks Hospital Area Multimodal Connections Project from “Candidate” to “Approved.”

DISCUSSION The Regional Transportation Plan contains policies requiring PSRC’s Executive Board to approve regionally significant transportation capacity projects before those projects begin implementation phases. Projects in the Regional Transportation Plan are designated as Candidate, Approved, or Conditionally Approved. A Candidate designation means a project has gone through a comprehensive planning process, but that one or more of the following has not yet been completed: environmental documentation and approvals, financial plan, and/or other planning requirements. A project’s status is changed to Approved once these requirements have been met. Conditional Approval may be granted if a project has fulfilled most of the approval criteria but lacks only certain details. For example, if a project awaits only final

5.c

Packet Pg. 17

Doc ID 2847

signatures on its environmental documentation but has completed all other requirements, the Executive Board may grant Conditional Approval. Once the final details have been completed, staff has the authority to grant a project full Approval status administratively, thereby saving the project sponsor several weeks of delay. The current Hospital Area Multimodal Connections Project is a component of the larger Eastside Rail Corridor Trail project that addresses non-motorized access to the East Link Wilburton (Hospital) Light Rail Station. The project includes a grade-separated multi-purpose trail crossing of NE 8th Street in Bellevue along the alignment of the Eastside Rail Corridor (Eastrail). This project will accommodate access to the future at-grade segments of the planned Eastrail to the north and south of NE 8th Street and to the at-grade east-west running sidewalks on both sides of NE 8th Street. The project also includes the interface and cross-trail non-motorized access between the Eastrail and the Light Rail Station. Table 1 below provides additional details of the project, including the criteria used to review the project for the requested status change. Table 1: Project Details and Review Criteria

ACTION ITEM July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board From: Kelly McGourty, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Recommend Approval of Projects Proposed for PSRC’s 2023-2024

Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration Funds

Recommend Approval of Projects Proposed for PSRC’s 2023-2024 Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration Funds IN BRIEF PSRC has project selection authority for several sources of funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). A project selection process is conducted every two years to distribute PSRC’s federal funds via a competitive process detailed in the Policy Framework for PSRC’s Federal Funds. Between February and June 2020 the project selection process to distribute approximately $549 million of PSRC’s 2023-2024 funds was conducted. The projects recommended to receive these funds are identified in Attachments A through D. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Transportation Policy Board should recommend Executive Board approval of the projects recommended for PSRC’s federal funds as identified in Attachments A through D, including the prioritized contingency lists of projects should additional funds become available prior to the next project selection process. DISCUSSION Policy Framework

6.a

Packet Pg. 20

Doc ID 2848

A competitive project selection process is conducted every two years for the distribution of PSRC’s federal funds. Prior to each process, a Policy Framework is adopted, outlining the policy guidance for the distribution of funds and other details on how the process will be conducted. A Project Selection Task Force comprised of 31 volunteer members from PSRC’s four Boards – the Transportation Policy Board, Growth Management Policy Board, Economic Development District Board and Executive Board – met a total of four times between September and December 2019 and prepared the recommendations for the 2020 Policy Framework for PSRC’s Federal Funds. The Policy Framework was adopted by the Executive Board on January 23, 2020 and encompasses the detailed policies and procedures for conducting the competitive processes for both PSRC’s FHWA and FTA funding sources, including details on the policy focus of support for centers and the corridors that serve them, the various set-asides and distribution amounts, and other details. The project selection process, as directed by the Policy Framework, is based on the regional policies and outcomes as detailed in VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan. The criteria used to evaluate every project is based on these policies and outcomes, built from the foundation of supporting regional and local centers; they include elements such as accessibility, multimodal mobility, safety, equity and climate, as well as financial and readiness considerations. The table below illustrates the amount of funds available for each of the four concurrent processes included in the 2020 project selection process.

2023-2024 PSRC FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2020 PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS1

Federal Highway Administration Funds Federal Transit Administration Funds

Regional Competition - $49.2 million Regional Competition - $24.96 million

Countywide Competitions - $104.13 million Earned Share and Preservation Set-Aside Distribution - $354.88 million

A Call for Projects was released on February 3, 2020, and workshops were held in each of PSRC’s four counties to review the materials and provide assistance to potential project sponsors. Over 250 projects requesting a combined total of almost $800 million were submitted for the estimated $549 million available. The Regional Project Evaluation Committee (RPEC), the Transportation Operators Committee (TOC) and each of the four countywide forums prepared project funding recommendations for their respective processes, identified in Attachments A through D. Regional FHWA Competition For PSRC’s FHWA regional competition, 31 projects requesting over $78 million were submitted for the estimated $49 million available. PSRC staff scored project

applications based on the adopted regional project evaluation criteria as outlined above. RPEC reviewed the projects and PSRC staff scores on May 21, 2020, and after a full discussion recommended the projects in Attachment A for funding, including a prioritized contingency list of projects should additional funds become available prior to the next process. In addition to the project scores, RPEC also took other factors into consideration in preparing the recommendation, including the following: geographic equity, agency equity, modal equity, having a balance among project phases, scalability, unique circumstances and project completion. The recommended funding for the 13 projects identified in Attachment A exceeds the estimate for the regional FHWA competition as identified in the Policy Framework by approximately $1.1 million. The rationale for this increase is that the funds as identified in the Policy Framework are estimates based on information available at the time of the Project Selection Task Force discussions. The estimates for 2023-2024 funding as identified in the Policy Framework were based on the application of a 2% growth rate to the average annual allocations received to date over the span of the current federal transportation act. Through the life of the current act there has been a modest increase in funding each year, with allocations generally being higher than PSRC estimates over time. The 2020 final allocations were received after the adoption of the Policy Framework, and these amounts were higher than previous years. In addition, the challenges related to the annual project delivery targets require ready-to-go projects be available each year, so having a larger buffer at the time of award may mitigate the need for extraordinary efforts later in the process. Based on these considerations, RPEC unanimously recommends the list of projects in Attachment A. Countywide Competitions Per the Policy Framework, the balance of PSRC’s FHWA funds is distributed through competitive processes conducted by each of the four countywide forums. A total of 186 projects requesting over $308 million were submitted for the $104 million available, which includes the set-asides for bicycle and pedestrian investments, preservation and the required minimum amount to be spent in the rural area. Each countywide group adopts their own competitive processes, based on the Policy Framework, federal requirements and the regional project evaluation criteria, with some locally based customization; a summary of each countywide process is contained in the Policy Framework. The countywide project selection committees concluded their processes in June and are recommending the projects identified in Attachment B, including prioritized contingency lists of projects should additional funds become available prior to the next process. Regional FTA Competition For PSRC’s FTA regional competition, 12 projects requesting almost $58 million were submitted for the estimated $25 million available. PSRC staff scored project applications based on the adopted regional project evaluation criteria. The Regional

6.a

Packet Pg. 22

FTA Caucus reviewed the projects and PSRC staff scores on June 10, 2020, and on June 24, 2020 the TOC recommended the projects in Attachment C for funding, including a prioritized contingency list of projects should additional funds become available prior to the next process. In addition to the project scores, the committees also took other factors into consideration in preparing the recommendation, including the following: geographic equity, agency equity, modal equity, project completion and the ability to fund as many projects as possible. Similar to the FHWA regional competition, the recommended funding for the seven projects identified in Attachment C exceeds the estimate for the regional FTA competition as identified in the Policy Framework by approximately $3.6 million. Similar to the RPEC discussion, the rationale for this increase is that the funds as identified in the Policy Framework are estimates based on information available at the time of the Project Selection Task Force discussions. Specific to the FTA funding, the recommendation from the committee is to use the final 2020 federal allocation amount attributable to the regional portion of funds as the estimate for 2023-2024 funding. This is in part due to the fact that this represents the most recent allocation of FTA funds, and since the regional portion of funds is based primarily on population and population density figures, the actual 2023-2024 allocations will be based on the 2020 Census data. The recommendation also recognizes that there has generally been a trend of increasing funds to the region over time, but should this not occur in the future the annual adjustments process conducted each year will address any revisions necessary once the final allocations are received. Based on these considerations, the TOC unanimously recommends the list of projects in Attachment C. FTA Earned Share and Preservation Funding Per the Policy Framework, the majority of PSRC’s FTA funds are distributed through an earned share process, with funding amounts corresponding to the transit service and operating characteristics of each transit agency in the region. There are three urbanized areas (UZAs) in the PSRC region: Bremerton, Marysville and Seattle-Tacoma- Everett (STE). PSRC coordinates with FTA and the public transit agencies operating within each UZA to conduct the process to distribute PSRC’s FTA funds to projects. Funds come to the region based on the service and operating characteristics of each transit agency, as well as from regional attributes such as population density. Since there is only one transit agency operating in the Bremerton and Marysville UZAs, respectively, funds are distributed to these two UZAs based on their earnings. Within the STE UZA, approximately 86% of the FTA funds are based on the service and operating characteristics of each transit agency and are therefore distributed via the earned share process. The remaining 14% of the funds in the STE UZA are based on regional attributes, and this portion of the funds is distributed via the FTA regional competition as described above. As adopted by the Executive Board, 45% of these regional funds were set-aside for preservation investments as part of the 2020 process, distributed to transit agencies via their earned share percentages. Attachment D contains the TOC recommendation of projects to receive the $355 million of FTA earned share and preservation funding, as identified by each transit agency within each of the three UZAs.

Once the Board approves the projects to receive this funding, PSRC will begin work on the preparation of the Draft 2021-2024 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), scheduled to be released for public comment in September. In October the Transportation Policy Board will make its final recommendation on the 2021-2024 Regional TIP, and the Executive Board is scheduled to take final action on October 22, 2020. At its meeting on July 9, the Transportation Policy Board will be provided additional details on the projects recommended for funding as identified in Attachments A through D. This will include information on the types of projects recommended, the phases of implementation, their geographic location, and an assessment of how the suite of recommended projects address and achieve the regional policy outcomes identified in VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan.

DISCUSSION ITEM July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board From: Kelly McGourty, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Passenger Only Ferry Study Status Update

IN BRIEF The Transportation Policy Board will be provided a briefing at its July 9, 2020 meeting on the status of the Puget Sound Passenger Only Ferry Study. Information will be provided on stakeholder engagement accomplished to-date, as well as next steps in the development of this study. DISCUSSION The Washington State Legislature appropriated $350,000 to PSRC to study passenger-only ferry service throughout the twelve-county Puget Sound region. The study includes a review of potential routes and terminals, ridership demand, costs, and use of alternative fuels. In July 2019, the PSRC Executive Board approved a budget amendment and contract authority to move forward with consultant services for the study. Since then, PSRC staff has conducted initial outreach on the study and selected a consultant team led by KPFF Consulting Engineers to complete the study by the legislative deadline of January 2021. Since the last policy board briefing in January, the project team has accomplished the following:

• Organized an introductory webinar on the study, held on April 15, 2020, to solicit interest in the project and gather additional stakeholders;

• Met with representatives of MPOs/RTPOs within the study area twice to solicit feedback on the project from the perspective of other regions; and

7.a

Packet Pg. 47

Doc ID 2849

• Conducted an online survey that generated more than 10,000 responses informing evaluation criteria and terminal and routes that should be analyzed within the study area.

The consultant team is currently analyzing candidate routes and terminals using a tiered evaluation process informed by the recently completed survey. The results of this analysis will identify those routes with potential for near-term opportunities, and those with more substantial hurdles to overcome to implementation. Based on this work, a small selection of routes will be advanced for more detailed route profile development and analysis in the study. PSRC staff will share information on the status of the study to-date at the July 9, 2020 board meeting. In addition, those board members interested in following the study will be encouraged to participate in the next webinar, being planned for August 2020. Information on the study, including webinar materials, project updates and opportunity to comment may be found on the project webpage at https://www.psrc.org/passenger-ferry-study.

DISCUSSION ITEM July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board From: Kelly McGourty, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Regional Transportation Plan Briefing

IN BRIEF At its meeting on July 9, 2020, the Transportation Policy Board will continue discussion of the next regional transportation plan, scheduled to be adopted in May 2022. A summary of work conducted to date will be provided, as well as next steps for board engagement on the key policy focus areas identified in February. An updated schedule will also be provided, including further details on the work program between now and the end of the year, as well as information on planned analyses and environmental review. DISCUSSION At its meetings earlier this year, the Transportation Policy Board was briefed on the schedule and work program for developing the next long-range regional transportation plan, scheduled to be adopted in May 2022, and discussed key focus areas for the plan. Over the last two months the board has received additional information on the data collection and research efforts underway, as well as PSRC’s analysis tools to help inform the plan and evaluate regional policies. The 2022 plan will address the transportation system needs and opportunities for the growth expected by 2050, building from the work completed under VISION 2050. The plan will continue to address critical needs to maintain the current system and improve mobility but will also look ahead to address future challenges with potential new investments, such as in rail, aviation and passenger only ferries. It will help to implement the policies and goals in VISION 2050 and assist and inform the local planning to be undertaken by cities and counties as they develop their comprehensive plans by 2024.

DISCUSSION ITEM July 2, 2020 To: Transportation Policy Board

From: Erika Harris, AICP, SEPA Responsible Official

Subject: Regional Transportation Plan Update – SEPA Background Memorandum

IN BRIEF

PSRC is initiating an update of the long-range Regional Transportation Plan. Federal

transportation planning requirements mandate adoption of an update every four years, and

the next plan, scheduled to be adopted in 2022, will extend the planning horizon to 2050.

This memo describes the anticipated environmental analysis that will occur for the project

in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The update of the Regional

Transportation Plan will be based on the prior update adopted in 2018 and the work to

develop VISION 2050 between 2018 to 2020. Correspondingly, the SEPA analysis will

build on and incorporate the SEPA analysis completed for those two prior planning efforts.

DISCUSSION

A broad array of regional transportation alternatives was studied in the Transportation

2040 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Transportation 2040 Final EIS (2010)

included analysis of the preferred alternative that is a regional transportation network in the

year 2040 and that is inclusive of long-range transportation plans from transit agencies, the

state Department of Transportation, and other transportation agencies. PSRC issued an

addendum to the Transportation 2040 EIS in 2018 to address updates to the plan included

in the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan.

The VISION 2050 Environmental Impact Statement used the Regional Transportation Plan

transportation network as a base to analyze four land use and growth alternatives that

extend the planning horizon to the year 2050. The preferred alternative, currently being

reviewed by PSRC’s Executive Board, was included in the Final EIS for VISION 2050,

which was released on March 18, 2020. The VISION 2050 EIS, therefore, includes

analysis of the Regional Transportation Plan extended to the year 2050 using the growth

forecast and distribution of VISION 2050.

The 2022 Regional Transportation Plan update is anticipated to include several updates,

including:

• Updating the base year used in the VISION 2050 EIS from 2014 to 2018;

• Revisions to transportation projects that are included in the current regional

transportation project list to reflect projects that have been completed or adjusted;

• Reflection of recent updates to individual transportation/transit agency long-range

plans;

• Discussion of transportation planning issues, such as changing technologies and

user behaviors; and

• Identification of potential new areas of transportation improvements. New

investments with significant change or improvement would require further study and

analysis and would not be formally added to the Regional Transportation Plan in

this update.

What changes are anticipated to projects included in the Regional Transportation

Plan? Changes to projects considered by the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan are

anticipated to fall within the analysis completed for the Transportation 2040 EIS and the

VISION 2050 EIS, which include a multimodal transportation system built out through the

year 2041. Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, it is anticipated that some

transportation projects may be delayed from their current schedules due to changes in

transportation revenues. Current long-range transportation plans extend for a 20-year

period. Potential revenue-induced delays to projects are anticipated to remain within the

2050 horizon year.

Will the SEPA process look at alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

The Regional Transportation Plan includes a Four-Part Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions. The update of the transportation plan will continue PSRC’s work to implement

the strategy by identifying and coordinating work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Any new efforts to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions would be presumed to result

in an additional environmental benefit. In addition, VISION 2050 includes provisions

directing PSRC to conduct an analysis of the wider spectrum of climate strategies –

beyond land use and on-road transportation – to demonstrate regional progress in

reducing greenhouse gases and make progress toward regional reduction goals, an effort

also known as a climate wedge analysis. This information will be brought to regional

decision makers in support of the development of the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan.

Will the changes to the transportation system result in significant environmental

impacts? The update of the Regional Transportation plan is an opportunity to study and

explore how the regional transportation system can continue to support the growth and

land use changes anticipated by VISION 2050. However, the update will not produce a

new transportation system alternative. Exploration of potential new transportation needs

would be a first step in an iterative endeavor, where identification of new needs in this plan

update may evolve into projects identified by local jurisdictions in upcoming

comprehensive plan and transportation/transit agency plan updates. This is an opportunity

to identify areas in the transportation network that may need additional improvements in

the 2040-2050 timeframe, and for local jurisdictions and transportation agencies to identify

potential solutions at the local level as they update local comprehensive plans in 2024. The

2026 Regional Transportation Plan will be informed by these collaborative efforts.

The complete transportation network and the year 2050 growth distribution were analyzed

in the VISION 2050 EIS. Therefore, it is anticipated that PSRC will issue a SEPA

addendum that incorporates the environmental analysis from the VISION 2050 EIS and the

Transportation 2040 EIS. The changes to the plan listed above are anticipated to fall within

the scope of review of the prior environmental documents, be of a non-substantive nature,

and, in some instances, would result in environmental benefits. Because the plan update

will not produce a new transportation system alternative, an addendum would not include

analysis of new alternatives. However, an addendum does allow for additional analyses in

the plan update related to the transportation system, such as changes in technology and

travel behavior, the needs for freight distribution and local deliveries, or how to better serve

underrepresented populations.

Based on these assumptions, PSRC anticipates that environmental impacts of the update

will be within the range of impacts and alternatives described in the Transportation 2040

FEIS and the VISION 2050 EIS. As is always the case, additional environmental review for

specific projects will occur at the project level by individual agency leads.
