Introduction
The Transit Development Plan (TDP) is required by Washington State, Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.58.2795. The plan is updated annually and submitted to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Our plan summarizes accomplishments from the past calendar year, documents agency goals and strategies for the current and following five years, identifies needed resources and provides a financial forecast. The 2020 TDP provides a summary of activities and accomplishments for 2019 and outlines goals and strategies for 2020-2025. The Washington State Transportation Plan provides six goals to guide and prioritize the activities of public agencies in developing and maintaining the transportation system.
Community Transit’s
priorities, strategies, and the projects and service increases in this plan
align with and implement the state’s transportation goals.
WSDOT’s
