Planning - Concurrency

The multimodal transportation concurrency study requires WSDOT and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to coordinate efforts to deliver a study that examines multimodal transportation improvements and strategies to comply with the concurrency requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA).

The study request calls for analyzing approaches to concurrency that better integrate roadway and transit planning, maintain the ability to attain development objectives of growth centers, and allow for tailoring of Level of Service standards to different growth centers and travel periods. Technical assistance is provided by the Washington State Transportation Research Center (TRAC).

Project Oversight

The project includes participation from a legislative consultation group and advisory group consisting of local jurisdiction and agency representatives

The advisory group, includes representatives from WSDOT, Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development (DCTED), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), transit agencies, and local jurisdictions planning under the GMA, and is tasked to provide input and review draft work products.

In addition, a consultation group consisting of Washington State legislators is tasked with reviewing the scope of work and the recommendations that are ultimately included in the Final Report.
