EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and subsequent federal funding provisions, the Clean Air Washington Act and other relevant legislation, the City of Everett will commit to work with the PSRC, the WSDOT, transit agencies and other jurisdictions in the development of transportation control measures and other transportation and air quality programs where warranted. Obiective #5: Coordination of Plans and Improvements Establish and maintain an efficient coordination process for identifying, reviewing and resolving inter -jurisdictional transportation concerns in or affecting Everett's Planning Area. The Growth Management Act requires local plans and programs to be closely coordinated with other local, regional and state plans and programs.
