| SUBJECT
|
|
| Approval of a Comprehensive Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the years 2021-2026
|
|
| | | | | | | | Key Points
|
- Per RCW 35.77.010, the City must adopt a comprehensive TIP prior to July 1st of each year.
- This TIP reflects additional funding resulting from the street funding strategy decisions made to date.
- Each year staff includes updates/changes to the City’s arterial map as part of the yearly TIP update.
- Adopting the TIP keeps the City in compliance with state law, allows the City to pursue grants for projects listed in the TIP, provides candidate projects for funding by the Vancouver Transportation Benefit District, and facilitates coordinated planning between agencies within the region.
|
|
| | | | | | | | Strategic Plan Alignment |
Goal 1: Ensure our built urban environment is one of the safest, most environmentally responsible and well maintained in the Pacific Northwest.
|
|
| | | | | | | | Present Situation | The 2021–2026 TIP presents a transportation development program that supports implementation of the City’s adopted comprehensive plan. It includes funding allocation recommendations for street capital revenues including impacts of reduced revenues due to COVID-19 and State Initiative 976. The project lists clearly identify those projects and programs that are intended to receive funding from the sources approved as part of the street funding strategy. The TIP can be amended at any time by Council action, if needed.
The TIP also provides updates to the Arterial Classification Map. The arterial map update includes minor revisions such as changing proposed arterials to existing arterials.
|
|
| | | | | | | | Advantage(s) |
- Adoption of the Six-Year TIP conveys the direction and intent of the City to provide certain transportation projects within a given timeframe and satisfies state law.
- The Six-Year TIP is used as a planning and project programming tool to develop funding strategies that include local, state, federal, and private funding sources.
- The Six-Year TIP provides information to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) for coordination of transportation projects with other agencies in the region.
|
|
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact | The 2021-2026 TIP will be tied directly to adopted capital budgets. The TIP reflects the budget programming of the City’s capital funding for transportation, including anticipated grant revenues.
