Policy Framework Element
Quick Explanation
Here you will find long-standing vision, goals, and policies that provide the foundation for coordinated regional transportation planning in the Peninsula region and help ensure consistency between local and state plans.
The State Facilities Action Plan offers a detailed look at WSDOT’s highway and bridge assets in the region, top concerns WSDOT Olympic Region is managing, and some important statistics and performance measures not found elsewhere in the RTP. It is updated periodically by WSDOT as needed to keep it current.
PRTPO is required to review its RTP every two years to ensure it is current and responsive to the region’s needs. Needed changes to policies, the Strategic Agency & Action Plan, or other elements are identified in this process and addressed as warranted.
PRTPO is required by RCW 47.80.023(2) to develop a regional transportation plan that is consistent with adopted countywide planning policies of the four counties that make up the Peninsula Region.
PRTPO maintains the RTP on a regular cycle to ensure it not only complies with state requirements but effectively supports the needs of the Peninsula Region and PRTPO’s work.
As a rural Regional Transportation Planning Organization, PRTPO’s authorities are defined by legislative statutes dating back to 1990.
Find prior editions of PRTPO’s Regional Transportation Plan. This includes the original 1995 RTP that laid the foundation for coordinated regional planning thereafter between local agencies and with WSDOT, as well as the 2015 and 2019 updates.
This includes printable copies of the Strategic Agenda & Action Plan and the RTP Project List, both of which are found in a dynamic format in the Planning Framework.
