Long-standing vision, goals, and policies 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 transportation system assets in the Peninsula Region, top concerns WSDOT is working to manage, and some important statistics and performance measures. The state highway system is the backbone of our regional system. The State Facilities Action Plan is updated periodically by WSDOT.

PRTPO is required, per RCW 47.80.023(2), to develop a regional transportation plan that is consistent with adopted countywide planning policies. PRTPO’s guiding principles for regional consistency and its certification of consistency with the countywide planning policies of Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, and Mason County are found here.
Find prior editions of PRTPO’s Regional Transportation Plan, including the original 1995 RTP that laid the foundation for coordinated regional planning thereafter between local agencies and with WSDOT. Subsequent editions have built on that foundation, reflecting on-going insights and emerging issues and strengthening the policy framework.
As a rural Regional Transportation Planning Organization, PRTPO’s authorities are defined by relevant sections of RCW 47.80 and WAC 468-86. These define PRTPO’s statutory requirements in maintaining a long-range regional transportation plan. Click here for a pdf of the complete regulatory framework governing PRTPO’s work.
PRTPO is required to review its RTP every two years to ensure it is current and responsive to the region’s needs. Any needed changes to policies, the Strategic Agenda & Action Plan, or other elements will be identified in this review process and addressed as warranted.
This will be a short overview of how PRTPO amends its RTP - the project list annually, and any other updates to Agenda, Action Plan, or anything else every two years if its needed. [5.15 note: This is directly related to the Biennial Review, above. May tuck the Biennial Review into the RTP Amendment Process. More logical than a stand-alone here.] Pending draft for placement.
This is a checklist of basic requirements PRTPO must satisfy in its regional transportation plan, as a guide to assist reviewers.
This includes printable copies of the Strategic Agenda & Action Plan, and the RTP Project List, both accessible in a more dynamic format from the Planning Framework.
