2012-2017
Introduction
What is the S1x Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)?
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning
document that IS updated annually based on needs and policies identified m the city's
adopted Comprehensive Plan and the 2008 Transportation Master Plan. It represents
Kent's current l1st of needed projects that may beg1n work in the next six years. The
document also identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each of the
projects for which fund1ng is currently known. The TIP serves as a draft work plan for the
development of the local transportation network.
Mandated by State Law
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP, that it be updated annually
(RCW 35.77.010), and that 1t be submitted to the State Department of Transportation not
more than thirty days after its adopt1on. It represents an important plann1ng component
under the state's Growth Management Act. For cities to compete for transportation
fund1ng grants from Federal and State sources, most granting agencies requ1re that
proJects be mcluded in the TIP.
How is the 2012-2017 TIP different from previous years?
The 2012-2017'Six-Year TIP does contam substantive changes from last year's
Program and 1s be1ng adopted much later in the year. In response to a mult1-year
econom1c downturn wh1ch has reduced local revenues available for transportation
improvements and the realization that fewer Federal and State grants will become
available for local transportation projects m the near s1x-year t1meframe, Council invited a
Cit1zen Advisory Committee to review the Draft 2012-2017 S1x-Year TIP. This Committee
met 11 t1mes over four months and made recommendations to the full Council in
September of 2011. Th1s TIP reflects the fmdmgs of the Citizen Advisory Comm1ttee
recommendations by incorporatmg a number of 1ntersect1on Improvements from the
Transportation Master Plan proJect list and defernng a number of the roadway Widening
proJects that were on last year's TIP but have no funding 1dent1f1ed to be postponed until
the next s1x-year period.
