Update policies 1.30— 1.33 to address financing of improvements—should reflect true costs of providing service, and costs and benefits attributable to those who use and benefit from the system. Add policy addressing funding sources—revenues should come from traditional measures, but also from other innovative measures (e.g., high occupancy tolls, vehicle miles travelled assessments, and private-sector contributions). Impacts of transportation system choices should be considered as part of this process. Include transportation financing methods that sustain maintenance, preservation, and operations of facilities. Prioritize investment in centers, including the Downtown Growth center, the SW Everett Manufacturing—Industrial Center, and other activity centers identified in the update. Policies 2.8 and 2.9 address planning and design. Add the term"context-sensitive." Add a policy related to context sensitive operations? Update Transportation Facility Design policies 2.18 —2.20 to address developing consistent transportation design standards with state, county, and other jurisdictions. Encourage Snohomish County to raise their standards to be consistent with Everett's in Everett's unincorporated UGA. In addition, transportation design standards should include creation of high quality public spaces, such as streetscapes and the type of interior and exterior facilities found at Everett Station. Amend design objective policies to add "Apply urban design principles in transportation programs and projects for regional growth centers and high-capacity transit station areas" Integrate the ten Transportation 2040 physical design guidelines in planning for centers and high capacity transit station areas. Add language to Objective 4 to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change. Incorporate human health into transportation planning. Update Public Transportation Services Strategy to include education/awareness programs for public transportation and ride sharing, and general traffic education (e.g. what school zones mean, how to safely approach an intersection where you can't see clearly, etc.). Add policy to maintain, preserve, and operate the existing transportation system in a safe and useable state. Integrate concepts related to sustainability and climate change in transportation planning. Design transportation facilities and services to interface with waterborne and air transportation terminals, including amending text related to Marine Port Facilities and addressing potential new terminal at Paine Field. 8
