GORST PLANNED ACTION EIS | AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT, SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS, AND MITIGATION MEASURESWashington Transportation Plan (WTP)The WTP 2007-2026 fulfills the requirements for both state multi-modal and federal long-range plan requirements.WTP 2007-2026, developed collaboratively by the Washington State Transportation Commission and the WSDOT,outlines transportation goals and objectives for Washington State. It offers policy guidance for all jurisdictionsstatewide on matters related to the transportation system over the next 20 years. The WTP provides a blueprintand strategies to guide decisions and investments needed to develop Washington’s transportation system to servethe future needs of its citizens, communities, and economy while safeguarding its environment. The core principleof the investment guidelines is that the existing system cannot be allowed to deteriorate. The plan identifies thetop transportation investment priorities for the entire state in the areas of preservation, safety, economic vitality,mobility, and environmental quality and health. It addresses all modes of Washington’s transportation system:roadways, ferries, public transportation, aviation, freight rail, passenger rail, marine ports and navigation, bicyclesand pedestrians.The Washington State Transportation Commission developed the WTP 2030 at the direction of the StateLegislature. It is the overarching state policy framework intended to provide policy guidance and recommendationsacross all transportation modes and regions in the state. WTP 2030 serves as the policy update to the federallycompliant WTP 2007-2026, reflecting recent changes and new challenges.The WTP addresses the roles of WSDOT, regional planning organizations, local jurisdictions, and Tribalgovernments in Washington State. The WTP is required by state and federal law to be regularly updated. UnderGMA, the Kitsap County Transportation Chapter must assess the impact of future land use on state transportationfacilities, and must be consistent with the WTP.Regional PlanningPSRC – Transportation 2040Transportation 2040, adopted by the PSRC in 2010, is the long-range transportation plan for the central PugetSound region of Washington State, which comprises King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties. The planoutlines a long-term template for how the region should invest in transportation to accommodate rising traveldemand, while at the same time embracing the need to be flexible and responsive to change. Transportation 2040identifies investments to support the region’s expected growth and improve transportation service to people andbusinesses, includes a financing plan that suggests a long-term shift in how we fund transportation improvementswith more reliance on users paying for transportation improvements, and proposes a strategy for reducingtransportation’s contribution to climate change and its impact on regional concerns such as air pollution and thehealth of Puget Sound.Built upon the foundation of Vision 2040, Transportation 2040 establishes three integrated and sustainablestrategies: congestion and mobility, environment, and funding. These strategies guide transportation investmentdecisions to meet growing travel needs for people and freight, with more transit, more biking and walkingfacilities, more ferries, and more complete roadways. Within these strategies, the plan identifies four majorcategories of investment: preservation, maintenance and operations, safety and security, efficiency, and strategiccapacity.Transportation 2040 supports Vision 2040’s Regional Growth Strategy. A fundamental goal of Vision 2040 is tofocus growth (people and jobs) in urban areas in a way that improves transportation efficiency, increases the useof transit, biking, and walking, and improves the balance between jobs and housing. Transportation 2040 supportsfocusing approximately 97 percent of growth within designated UGAs, and to more than double currentdevelopment in designated regional growth centers by 2040. It outlines specific projects to support the growthstrategy.The PSRC is responsible for allocating federal transportation funding to local jurisdictions, as well as certification oflocal transportation chapters within the four-county region.Draft | June 2013 3-150
GORST PLANNED ACTION EIS | AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT, SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS, AND MITIGATION MEASURESThe Transportation 2040 plan does recognize operational shortcomings within the Gorst UGA and includes somemidterm and long projects associated with improvements to SR 3 and the interchange of SR3 and SR 16.Countywide Planning Policies (CPP)KRCC is the local council of governments for Kitsap County; the Cities of Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, PortOrchard, and Poulsbo; the Port of Bremerton; and the Suquamish and Port Gamble/S’Klallam Tribes. The KRCC isresponsible for: maintaining and updating Kitsap CPP; allocating federal transportation funding; 2060 Low IncomeHousing Program grants; Community Development Block Grant funding; and facilitating intraregional andinterregional coordination. The Council’s Board is composed of elected officials from Kitsap County, cities locatedwithin the county, Tribes located within the county, and the Port of Bremerton.CPP, which were developed by the KRCC and adopted in 2011, support the following stated goals.• Optimize and manage the safe use of transportation facilities and services.• Reduce the rate of growth in auto traffic, including the number of vehicle trips, the number of miles traveled,and length of vehicle trips taken, for both commute and non-commute trips.• Minimize the environmental impacts of transportation facilities and improvements.• Recognize differences in density, character, and development patterns throughout the county.• Support transit and pedestrian travel appropriate to each type of urban and rural development.• Create multimodal transportation linkages between designated local and regional centers.• Identify preferred routes for freight movement and support compatible land uses along those routes.• Facilitate inter-jurisdictional coordination.• Coordinate intra-county transportation planning efforts.• Provide coordinated and consistent LOS standards.Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan Transportation ChapterThe Kitsap County Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter is the County’s long-range transportation planningdocument, which satisfies the requirements of GMA and defines the transportation policies, methods, andpriorities for the County transportation system over a 20-year planning period. The Transportation Chapter isguided by the countywide transportation planning policies, as described in the previous section. The collectiveanalysis in the County’s integrated Comprehensive Plan/EIS and CFP, meets the content requirements of GMA andother guiding laws and rules, and includes an inventory of transportation infrastructure and services within thecounty; establishes operational standards; provides analysis methods and results for operations of thetransportation system; and provides a financially balanced transportation improvement plan to ensure that thetransportation system is adequate to support the long-range land use plan.Bremerton Comprehensive Plan Transportation ChapterThe City of Bremerton Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element is the City of Bremerton’s long-rangetransportation planning document, which satisfies the requirements of GMA and defines the transportationpolicies, methods, and priorities for the City of Bremerton’s transportation system. The Transportation Elementprimarily supports the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan but also complements each of the other planelements. The Transportation element emphasizes the need to consider pedestrians and bicycles in transportationplanning as well as working toward setting standards on heavily used arterials to enable mobility. TheTransportation Element establishes LOS Criteria, documents existing deficiencies, discusses future conditions andassociated deficiencies and provides proposed transportation improvements and costs.Draft | June 2013 3-151
