SECTION II. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Applicability. The forums and processes described herein shall be the
interim method by which King County and the cities within King County comply
with the transportation planning, programming and coordination requirements
specified as a condition of using the local option transportation revenues
authorized by Chapter 82.80 RCW, including the vehicle licence fee which has
been implemented by King County effective July 1, 1991. This interim method
shall be used by King County and the cities within King County until such time
as superceding procedures are established by a new Countywide and/or
multicounty planning organization with transportation planning and
coordination responsibilities.
Purpose.
The general purpose of the Interim Transportation Planning and
Coordination Process is to ensure that the transportation planning,
programming and coordination requirements of RCW 82.80.070 are complied
with in an orderly and efficient manner until such time that the process
is replaced by new processes as may be established by new intercounty
and intracounty transportation planning and coordination organizations.
The specific purpose of this process shall be to respond to the
statutory requirements that:
(a) The Transportation Program of each jurisdiction over 8,000
Population indicate how the jurisdiction's Transportation Plan (upon
which the Transportation Program is based) is coordinated with
applicable Transportation Plans for the region and for adjacent
jurisdictions (RCW 82.80.070 (3)(b)), and
(b) Jurisdictions over 8,000 population periodically review and update
their Transportation Programs to ensure consistency with applicable
local and Regional Transportation and Land Use Plans (RCW 82.80.070
(4))•
SECTION III. INTERIM PLANNING AND COORDINATION
Coordination among jurisdictions to ensure consistency between Transportation
Plans of adjacent jurisdictions and between local plans and Regional
Transportation and Land Use Plans shall be accomplished as follows:
Subreaional Coordination.
To the extent possible, transportation planning, coordination and
dispute resolution shall be pursued through existing subregional
transportation planning groups such as the ETP and SCATBD. Each such
group will determine how this is best accomplished within its geographic
area.
Interim Plan/Coord. Process
DRAFT 5 2/1/91 Page 3
In geographic areas of the County where such groups do not exist and
when necessary, King County shall take the lead in establishing such
additional subregional transportation planning forums.
Transportation Plans and Programs• Notification Review and Comment.
The County and each city shall notify adjacent jurisdictions, applicable
regional transportation planning agencies, WSDOT, and Metro at the
earliest possible stage of development of (a) a new regional,
subregional, county community land use and/or Transportation Plan or (b)
revisions to such plans, in order provide timely opportunities for
review and comment prior to adoption by the legislative authority.
Prior to legislative adoption of a Transportation Program, as required
by RCW 82.80.070 (3), King County and each city shall submit to
applicable regional transportation planning agencies, adjacent
jurisdictions, WSDOT and Metro: (a) the proposed Transportation Program;
and (b) the Transportation Plan upon which the proposed Transportation
Program is based. The Transportation Program shall be transmitted to
adjacent jurisdictions and applicable regional agencies no later than
the same time it is transmitted to the jurisdiction's legislative body
for adoption in order that those agencies have opportunity to formally
comment on the Transportation Program before adoption.
The County and each city should notify adjacent jurisdictions,
applicable regional transportation planning agencies, WSDOT and METRO at
the earliest possible stage of development of a project to be included
in their Transportation Programs which will serve a multijurisdictional
function or is necessitated by existing or foreseeable congestion.
C. Transportation Program. The Transportation Program shall be developed as
an integral part of each jurisdiction's six -year transportation capital
improvement program. At a minimum, the Transportation Program shall consist
of a narrative report on the specific points required to be addressed by RCW
82.80.070 including identification of the transportation improvements and
services intended to be funded in whole or in part by local option
transportation revenues.
SECTION IV. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
A. Notification of appropriate jurisdictions at the earliest stages of a
transportation planning process shall be practiced in order to identify
potential problems and concerns and to seek early resolution of any
dispute.
Until such time that a specific procedure for resolving transportation
planning disputes is established as part of Growth Management Act
implementation, any party may use existing processes for resolving
disputes including, but not limited to: (1) Appeal processes provided
through the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), the Shoreline
Interim Plan/Coord. Process
DRAFT 5 2/1/91 Page 4
Management Act or other regulatory measures; (2) Binding Arbitration;

resolution mechanism for their member jurisdictions.
