EVERETT 2044 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 6/17/2025 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br /> Page 97 <br />The four most common contributing factors to collisions were: <br />Factor Number of Collisions <br />1. Failing to grant right-of-way 1,801 <br />2. Following too closely 925 <br />3. Improper turning/merging 727 <br />4. Exceeding reasonably safe speeds 647 <br /> <br />Regional Partners and Projects <br />Everett coordinates with regional partners to ensure transportation planning is aligned from the local to <br />the state level. The partner agencies coordinate projects with Everett based on jurisdiction and the <br />geographic level that the project will serve. The Washington State Department of Transportation is a <br />partner on projects that are planned on state-owned routes, such as highways and interstates. The <br />Puget Sound Regional Council sets overall growth targets for the Central Puget Sound Region, and it is a <br />partner agency on transportation projects that will have an impact at a regional level. Snohomish County <br />is a partner agency on projects that connect Everett to communities across the county. Everett Transit <br />must also coordinate with Community Transit and Sound Transit to ensure their services are aligned and <br />can provide useful connections to their ridership. In Everett, large employers and ports are key local and <br />regional partners to understand commute patterns and to coordinate the movement of goods and <br />services. Everett Transit works with those employers and administers the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) <br />program for the City. <br />Future Regional Projects <br />The city’s transportation system functions as part of an interconnected regional system that is operated <br />by a constellation of operating agencies including local governments, local and regional transit agencies, <br />the Washington State Department of Transportation, and others. Planning for this regional <br />transportation system is primarily done through the PSRC Regional Transportation Plan, which was last <br />updated in 2022. System operations and project delivery is the responsibility of individual operating <br />agencies. The travel demand forecasting model assumes completion of the regional projects in the <br />Regional Transportation Plan, the key projects are listed in the table below, along with a few key local <br />projects identified in the Technical Appendix. <br />Planned Regional Improvements <br />RTP <br />ID PROJECT NAME DESCRIPTION PLANNED <br />TIME PERIOD <br />2853 Whitehorse Trail <br />Shared-use bike path, currently gravel to be paved in future. <br />A new steel bridge and some restoration at various bridges. <br />Build two new trailheads with parking.
