Balancing Transportation Concurrency and Growth Management: Developing effective short-term strategies to implement long range transportation and land use plans in Clark County, Washington
Clark County, Washington

Abstract

The goal of this project is to reconcile an apparent conflict between managing the transportation system to preserve mobility and efficiency while trying to meet state-mandated growth management goals (identified in the Washington State Growth Management Act of 1990). Specifically this project seeks to

  • Achieve a better match between the short-term, development-review-based testing of transportation system performance and the long-term, comprehensive-plan based testing of transportation system performance.
  • Determine if existing transportation regulations/policies are in direct conflict with other objectives of the comprehensive plan.
  • Achieve a greater public acceptance of the resulting comprehensive plan.
  • Develop a transportation concurrency regulation system that is more consistent with the intent of the Growth Management Act.

Ensure the transportation facilities needed to support the adopted land use plan are "fundable."
