EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4. Scheduling and Funding of State Facilities and Programs State transportation facilities are an important as well as an integral part of the transportation system and therefore affect City project scheduling as well as its ability to maintain concurrency. The scheduling and funding of State projects and programs are the responsibility of the State, but these projects and programs are approved for consistency regionally in a collaborative process through the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (the Puget Sound Regional Council). They must be coordinated with the growth management plans and programs of the region's jurisdictions. Acceptance by the State of the overall regional and local comprehensive plans assumes a policy commitment to support implementation of these plans through subsequent programming of planned State projects. Developer and City contributions for State projects will be included within the City's investment program. 5. Mitigation, Monitoring and Management Improvements and programs address all facilities that are involved in moving people and goods within the planning area, regardless of jurisdiction. The burden of mitigation to achieve concurrency is placed upon the system plan of improvements and programs which are themselves a strategy for implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan and Vision. A project - level test will be applied during development permitting to establish contributions and to monitor progress, but not to make planning policy decisions. Every development is assumed to be concurrent if it contributes its calculated fair share toward the implementation of the City's adopted investment strategy (including contributions for improvements to other jurisdiction's facilities in the City's planning area). The investment strategy is a general listing of projects and programs including general costs and probable timing (Tables 4.1 through 4.3). These transportation improvements reflect what the Preferred Plan is attempting to accomplish and the types of projects and programs that must be in place as development permits are issued to meet the system demand calculated from assumptions for planned population and employment growth. Any private share is a percentage of the planned improvements or programs and is proportional to the amount of growth planned within each sub -area. 6. Six -Year T.I.P. (Transportation Improvement Plan) The City annually approves a Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan, as required by the State of Washington, which identifies those transportation projects that will receive funding and/or be implemented within the following six years. This annual planning effort is based upon the priorities and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and is automatically incorporated into the Transportation Element each year, as an implementing functional plan. V. State -Owned Transportation Facilities House Bill 1487, adopted by the State Legislature in 1998, requires that cities add a sub -element to their comprehensive plans related to State owned transportation facilities, and transportation facilities of statewide significance (even if not owned by the State). Specific revisions to the Transportation Element to be addressed herein are: • An inventory of state-owned facilities within Everett's Planning Area. • Estimate of traffic impacts to state-owned transportation facilities resulting from land use decisions so performance can be monitored and improvements can be planned. • Documenting level of service standards for measuring state facility performance. • Identifying current and future state facility needs that are consistent with the statewide multi -modal transportation plan.
