3. Procedure for Transit System and Operational Plan Update <br /> Sound Transit and the LPTAs are responsible for developing and implementing a public <br /> transportation system and financing plan that is consistent with the MTP and local <br /> comprehensive plans. When any or all of the LPTAs and/or Sound Transit determine <br /> that an update or modification to comprehensive public transportation plan(s) is(are) <br /> necessary,the LPTA and/or Sound Transit will notify PSRC in writing. This <br /> notification will include both the process and schedule that the LPTAs and Sound <br /> Transit intend to follow. Sound Transit and the LPTAs agree to consult with PSRC and <br /> coordinate with local general purpose governments during the planning process to <br /> ensure continued consistency with the MTP. Sound Transit and the LPTAs will provide <br /> written notification to PSRC of system plan updates. <br /> 4. Procedure for Development of Regional and State TIPs <br /> On a timeline consistent with state and federal law, PSRC shall cooperatively develop <br /> and/or update a regional TIP for all Regionally Significant Projects regardless of <br /> funding source. This financially constrained regional TIP shall be developed through a <br /> collaborative process involving regional and subregional forums that include <br /> representation of WSDOT,public transit and port interests. In accordance with federal <br /> regulation,the development of PSRC's regional TIP will also be coordinated with other <br /> transportation providers, including regional airport sponsors, maritime port operators, <br /> rail freight operators, etc., and agencies and officials responsible for other planning <br /> activities within the MPA that are affected by transportation (23 CFR 450.316(b)). <br /> When building a new regional TIP, PSRC will provide to WSDOT, on an agreed upon <br /> schedule,the regional TIP with supporting documentation for incorporation into the <br /> state TIP and federal and state approvals. <br /> 5. Procedures for Certification of Transportation Elements of Comprehensive Plans <br /> for Cities and Counties <br /> PSRC's adopted Policy and Plan Review Process will be used to certify that the <br /> transportation elements of the comprehensive plans for counties, cities, and towns <br /> within the Central Puget Sound Region are in conformance with state planning <br /> requirements and are consistent with the PSRC's MTP. PSRC, as part of the above <br /> process, must also certify that countywide planning polices for King,Kitsap, Pierce, and <br /> Snohomish counties and the MTP Plan are consistent. PSRC's adopted processes <br /> provide direction for certifying the transportation elements and countywide planning <br /> policies, and provide an opportunity to coordinate and share information. <br /> Counties, cities, and towns within the region will notify PSRC in writing of <br /> amendments to comprehensive plans and countywide planning policies; certification <br /> review is required and may result in additional certification of the amendment or <br /> transportation element. These review and certification processes are to be used to <br /> increase the coordination of the transportation planning activities of the LPTAs, <br /> WSDOT, Sound Transit, and PSRC with all local jurisdictions. <br /> MOU- Puget Sound Regional Council/Local Public Transit Agencies and Sound Transit Page 12 <br />
