SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Yakima Transit is required under RCW 35.58.2795 to prepare a Six -Year Transit Development
Plan (Six -Year Plan) for the current calendar year and the ensuing five years annually. The annual
plan is mandated to receive state and federal grant funding.
The Six -Year Plan must be consistent with comprehensive plans adopted by counties, cities, and
towns and is required to contain information as to how the municipality intends to meet state and
local long-range priorities for public transportation, capital improvements, significant operating
changes planned for the system, and how Yakima Transit intends to fund plan needs. The Six -
Year Transit Development Plan is reviewed and updated each year and is used as a guide in
planning Transit programs and capital projects.
The Six -Year Plan must specifically set forth projects of regional significance for inclusion in the
Transportation Improvement Plan within that region. In developing the Plan, Yakima Transit must
also consider policy recommendations affecting public transportation contained in the State
Transportation Policy Plan approved by the State Transportation Commission.
