REQUESTED ACTION:

REQUEST RATIONALE:
• Relevant Plans/Policies:
1. Comprehensive Plan - establishes the vision and policy direction for how the City will grow and develop through 2030.
2. Transportation Master Plan (TMP) - a functional plan that guides the City’s transportation investments and activities.
3. Capital Investment Strategy (CIS) - provides a framework for both near-term investments within the CIP timeframe and long-term capital needs that advance the City’s vision.
4. Capital Investment Program (CIP) - provides a near-term (six-year) financial planning outlook into capital needs that advance the City’s vision and priorities.
5. Development Agreements - various commitments agreed to by City and applicants (agencies or private developers) through the permit and review process.
• Required:
The TIP is required to be updated annually by state law (RCW.39.92.030).
• Council Request:
N/A
• Other Key Facts:
The TIP is a planning document that will be proposed for adoption by City Council. Projects are shown in the TIP when they are consistent with planning documents or are being advanced through grants or private development.
OUTCOMES:
The annual update of the TIP keeps the City in compliance with state law and provides a foundation for future transportation grant applications (which often require inclusion in the TIP in order to be considered for funding). The update process also supports alignment of transportation priorities with the City’s vision, the biennial budget, CIP, and CIS. The TIP is the City’s most comprehensive listing of near-term transportation needs (funded and unfunded).
