Funding for the remainder of the projects will continue to be sought. A Public Hearing will be
held to consider adoption of a Resolution approving the six-year TIP and amending the regional
2
Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element. Projects
must be listed in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STI P) in order to be
approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) to utilize federal fund of by the State of Washington for approved State funding agencies.
The STI P is a prioritized program of transportation projects, complied from local and regional
plans, along with the Washington Transportation System Plan (WTP), which provides a backbone
for developing projects for the intermodal transportation network in the State of Washington.
The STI P contains federally funded projects plus state and local projects that are regionally
significant. These projects have been identified through the planning process as the highest
priority for the available funding to the state's transportation program. Citizen participation is an
integral part of the planning process at all levels. Local Agencies are required to develop and
adopt a six-year transportation program. All local agencies are required to hold at least one public
hearing during the development of the six-year transportation program.
Project ranking has been performed utilizing data supplied by 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. The City needs to amend the Yakima Urban Area
Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element to incorporate the adopted six-year TIP for 2019
to 2024. This will ensure compliance with the Growth Management Act and that we are consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan as required. The amendment incorporates only those projects that
adopted in the STI P and is not subject to the "once a year" change required under the laws of the
Growth Management Act.
