Washington Transportation Plan

The Washington Transportation Plan Vision 2050 is a transportation policy plan for all of Washington state. It provides an overarching transportation policy framework along with strategies for use by state, regional, and local jurisdictions and entities statewide who issue a transportation plan or operate a transportation mode.  The WTP also serves as one of our state’s tools demonstrating our compliance with federal planning requirements (23 USC Sec 135 and 23 CFR Parts 450, 771 and 49 CFR Part 613).
