BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.D.
For Meeting of: June 4, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution setting date of June 18, 2024 to review and adopt the Six-
year Transportation Improvement Program and Capital Facilities
Element of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Public Works Director
*Bill Preston, City Engineer
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Each year the City of Yakima (City) is required by state statute to update its Six-year Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP)for submittal to the Washington State Department of Transportation. This
plan must include all transportation projects for which state gas tax revenue or federal revenue will be
used.
A Public Hearing will be held to consider adoption of a Resolution approving the Six-year Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP)for 2025-2030 and amending the regional Metropolitan Transportation Plan
and Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element.
Projects must be listed in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) in order to be
approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
to utilize federal funds by the State of Washington for approved state funding agencies. The STIP is an
annual prioritized program of transportation projects compiled from local and regional plans that can be
updated as needed any time from January through October. The STIP, along with regional plans, provide
a backbone for developing projects for the inter-modal transportation network in the State of Washington.
The STIP contains federally funded projects plus state and local projects that are regionally significant.
The projects have been identified through the planning process as the highest priority for the available
funding to the state's transportation program. Project ranking is subjective but has been performed
utilizing data supplied by City Engineering and the Street and Traffic Division. The ranking will be
integrated with other project needs and the total list will be reviewed and adjusted to the particular need
of the City of Yakima.
Planning activities of state and local governments are essential parts of integrated regional planning
processes. Long range transportation planning is a part of the comprehensive land use planning carried
out by local governments and citizen participation is an integral part of the planning process at all levels.
All local agencies are required to hold at least one public hearing during the development of the Six-year
Transportation Improvement program. The City needs to amend the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive
Plan Capital Facilities Element to incorporate the adopted Six-year TIP for 2025 to 2030. This will ensure
that we are in compliance with the Growth Management Act and that we are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan as required.
