DISCUSSION

In the prior fiscal year, PSRC transitioned many agency servers and computing resources to a cloud-based computing architecture. This move has provided operational efficiencies for the vast majority of PSRC’s computing needs; however, there are a few

Doc ID 3118 Packet Pg. 17 6.e

systems that have become less stable and accessible in a cloud-based implementation. Users of PSRC’s GIS software have experienced connection and speed issues that the organization has been unable to fully address. This contract would be utilized to obtain on-call support to aid our IT team in the design and implementation of an updated IT system that will meet the needs of GIS users across the organization. The goal of the project will be to increase the speed and stability for access to the agencywide GIS data in the most cost-effective and sustainable way possible.

CONSENT AGENDA May 20, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

Subject: Adopt Routine Amendment to the 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program

IN BRIEF

Two agencies submitted seven projects this month for routine amendment into the Regional TIP. These projects are summarized in Exhibit A. These projects were awarded local, state, and federal funding through various processes, such as Connecting Washington funds managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation. PSRC staff reviewed the projects for compliance with federal and state requirements, and consistency with VISION 2050 and the Regional Transportation Plan. At its meeting on May 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended adoption of the amendment.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should adopt an amendment to the 2021-2024 Regional TIP to include the projects as shown in Exhibit A.

DISCUSSION

Under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, PSRC has project selection authority for all projects programming regional funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) - Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) - and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) - Urbanized Area Formula Program (5307), State of Good Repair (5337), Bus and Bus Facilities Formula (5339), and Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (5310).

Doc ID 3107 Packet Pg. 19 6.f

While PSRC does not have project selection authority for other types of federal, state, or local funds, the Executive Board does have responsibility for adding these projects to the Regional TIP. Each project must comply with requirements regarding plan consistency, air quality, and financial constraint. The attached Exhibit A illustrates the action needed to amend the Regional TIP.

The recommended action would approve the TIP amendment request based on a finding of consistency with VISION 2050, the Regional Transportation Plan, and the air quality conformity determination of the Regional TIP. Approval is also based on a determination that funding is reasonably expected to be available to carry out the project. Information describing plan consistency, air quality conformity, and the funding basis for approving the request is further described below.

Consistency with VISION 2050 and the Regional Transportation Plan

The projects recommended for action were reviewed by PSRC staff and have been determined to be consistent with the multicounty policies in VISION 2050 and the Regional Transportation Plan.

Air Quality Conformity

The projects in Exhibit A were reviewed and it has been determined that a new air quality analysis and conformity determination is not required because each project falls into one or more of the following categories: • It is exempt from air quality conformity requirements. • It is an existing project already included in the current air quality modeling. • It is a non-exempt project not able to be included in the regional model.

Funding Reasonably Expected to be Available

For the projects in Exhibit A, PSRC has confirmed that the funds are reasonably expected to be available.

PSRC’s Project Tracking Policies

This month’s amendment includes no project tracking actions.

Federal Fund Source Descriptions

The following is a list of state and federal funding sources that are referenced in Exhibit A.

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

Subject: Authorize a Change in the Regional Transportation Plan Project Status for King County Metro’s RapidRide H Line Project

IN BRIEF

King County Metro has submitted a request to change the status of the RapidRide H Line Project from “Candidate” to “Approved.” Per PSRC’s adopted procedures, requests to change a project status require Board action. At its meeting on May 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended that the Executive Board authorize changing the status of the project as requested

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should authorize a change in project status for King County Metro’s RapidRide H Line Project from “Candidate” to “Approved.”

DISCUSSION

The Regional Transportation Plan contains policies requiring PSRC’s Executive Board to approve regionally significant transportation capacity projects before those projects begin implementation phases. Projects in the Regional Transportation Plan are designated as Candidate, Approved, or Conditionally Approved. A Candidate designation means a project has gone through a comprehensive planning process, but that one or more of the following has not yet been completed: environmental documentation and approvals, financial plan, and/or other planning requirements. A project’s status is changed to Approved once these requirements have been met. Conditional Approval may be granted if a project has fulfilled most of the approval criteria but lacks only certain details. For example, if a project awaits only final signatures on its environmental documentation but has completed all other requirements,

Doc ID 3106 Packet Pg. 24 6.g

This project will construct a new RapidRide line connecting Burien to downtown Seattle via Ambaum Boulevard SW, Delridge Way SW and East Marginal Way South. It will connect two Regional Growth Centers (Burien and Downtown Seattle) and the Duwamish Manufacturing/Industrial Center and provide connections to other regional transit services including King County Metro’s RapidRide C and D lines and the planned RapidRide G line, as well as Sound Transit’s Link light rail, commuter rail and I-405 STRIDE bus rapid transit. The project will also enhance bicycle and pedestrian access to transit along the corridor. Specific elements of the project include:

• new transit-only and Business Access Transit (BAT) lanes on existing or new right-of-way along the proposed routing to maintain high transit travel speeds. • major intersection investments at priority intersections to improve traffic flow, transit reliability and increase transit speeds. • new transit signal priority at many of the signalized intersections along the route. • upgraded passenger amenities with better information and passenger safety to facilitate greater transit use and remove barriers of existing use.

Subject: Authorize a Change in the Regional Transportation Plan Project Status for Community Transit’s Swift BRT Orange Line – 164th Street & 196th Street Corridors Project

IN BRIEF

Community Transit has submitted a request to change the status of the Swift BRT Orange Line – 164th Street & 196th Street Corridor Project from “Candidate” to “Approved.” Per PSRC’s adopted procedures, requests to change a project status require Board action. At its meeting on May 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended that the Executive Board authorize changing the status of the project as requested.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should authorize a change in project status for Community Transit’s Swift BRT Orange Line – 164th Street & 196th Street Corridor Project from “Candidate” to “Approved.”

criteria but lacks only certain details. For example, if a project awaits only final signatures on its environmental documentation but has completed all other requirements, the Executive Board may grant Conditional Approval. Once the final details have been completed, staff has the authority to grant a project full Approval status administratively, thereby saving the project sponsor several weeks of delay.

This project will provide Community Transit’s 3rd Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line and will operate in the 164th/196th Street Corridors between two terminals adjacent to McCollum Park & Ride in Everett and Edmonds Community College. The Orange Line will include approximately 13 station pairs (26 individual stations) along an 11.5-mile corridor that will connect to the Blue and Green BRT lines, Sound Transit’s Link light rail and Stride I-405 BRT. The project also includes priority treatments for speed and reliability along the corridor. Service will begin in 2024 with 13 BRT-branded, 60-foot buses. Service will be provided to the Lynnwood Regional Growth Center, two locally designated centers, and four park-and-ride facilities with all-day, bi-directional service operating at 10-minute frequencies during peak hours.

ACTION ITEM May 20, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

Subject: Approve 2021 Federal Transit Administration Funding Annual Adjustments

IN BRIEF

In January of 2021, PSRC was notified of the region’s final allocation of federal fiscal year (FFY) 2021 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. FTA requires that PSRC review the estimates used to program its FTA funds with the actual allocation approved by Congress on an annual basis. Due to the final allocation being higher than the original estimates used for programming, there is an additional $27.4 million available for distribution. A summary of the funds originally programmed and the adjustments for FFY 2021 is provided in Attachment A. The recommendation of the Transportation Operators Committee (TOC) for the adjustments, including the distribution of additional funds to projects, is contained in Attachment B. At its meeting on May 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended Executive Board approval.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should approve the adjustments and $27.4 million in additional FFY 2021 FTA funds to the list of projects as shown in Attachment B.

DISCUSSION

PSRC’s 2021 FTA funds were originally distributed to projects as part of the 2018 project selection process using an estimate based on previous funding levels. FTA requires that PSRC review the estimates with the actual allocation approved by Congress on an annual basis. In January of 2021 PSRC was notified of the region’s final allocation of FFY 2021 FTA funds. The final 2021 allocation is higher than originally estimated, providing an increase of approximately $27.4 million to the region.

There are three urbanized areas (UZAs) in the region, as designated by the U.S. Census. These are the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, the Bremerton UZA and the Marysville UZA. Kitsap Transit and Community Transit are the sole transit agencies within the Bremerton and Marysville UZAs, respectively. In the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, there are multiple transit agencies, including three agencies that provide service within the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA but are located outside of it. These include Kitsap Transit in Kitsap County, Intercity Transit in Thurston County, and Skagit Transit in Skagit County. Per adopted regional policy, these external agencies are able to access the FTA funds earned from the service they provide within the Seattle-Tacoma- Everett UZA.

Since Kitsap Transit and Community Transit are the only transit agencies operating in the Bremerton and Marysville UZAs, FTA funds within those UZAs are distributed entirely through an earned share process. In the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, approximately 86% of the FTA funds earned are based on the service and operating characteristics of the transit agencies providing service to the UZA. Per adopted regional policy, this portion of the funds is distributed to each transit agency based on their earnings. The remaining funds, approximately 14%, come to the region based on regional attributes such as population density. This portion of the funds is distributed via a regional competition.

The $27.4 million in additional FFY 2021 FTA funds is the net total to the region, reflecting both increases and decreases in amounts earned by each transit agency. This also reflects an increase to the regional portion of funds in the Seattle-Tacoma- Everett UZA, resulting in approximately $862,000 being recommended for distribution to projects on the FTA Regional contingency list. A summary of the changes between the estimates used for programming as part of the 2018 project selection process and the final 2021 allocation amounts is contained in Attachment A.

As part of the FFY 2021 FTA annual adjustments, five agencies are requesting redistribution of funds among projects, as described in Attachment C. In addition, there are seven new projects being proposed to receive funding, as identified in Attachment B. Per adopted policy these projects will be released for public comment from May 6 through May 7, 2021.

For additional information, please contact Jennifer Barnes at [email protected] or (206) 389-2876.

ATTACHMENT C ADDITIONAL INFORMATON ON 2021 FTA REDISTRIBUTION REQUESTS

CITY OF SEATTLE

REQUEST: The City of Seattle requests to redistribute $5,108 in 2021 5307 Earned Share funding from its “Seattle Streetcar Maintenance 2021-2022” to its “Monorail System Maintenance 2021-2022” project.

RATIONALE: The redistribution is needed to balance funding for both the streetcar and monorail maintenance projects.

PROJECT SCOPE IMPACTS: • Seattle Streetcar Maintenance 2021-2022 - The project will add local funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • Monorail System Maintenance 2021-2022 - The project will still have a net reduction in funds so will add local funding sources to keep the total project budget constant.

EVERETT TRANSIT

REQUEST: Everett Transit requests to redistribute $1,287,502 in 2021 5307 Earned Share and $87,498 in 2021 5339 funding from its “2021-2022 Preventive Maintenance Vehicle Fleet and “2021-2022 Transit Revenue Vehicles” projects to the new “Everett Station Passenger Amenities” project and the FTA Emergency Relief Funding program.

RATIONALE: The redistribution is needed because the agency requires additional funding for operating assistance due to impacts from COVID -19. Funding is being redistributed to the new “Everett Station Passenger Amenities” project to provide ADA enhancements to Everett Station’s public phone and charging station areas and public restrooms.

PROJECT SCOPE IMPACTS: • 2021-2022 Preventive Maintenance Vehicle Fleet - The project will add local funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • 2021-2022 Transit Revenue Vehicles – This project will reduce the number of paratransit vehicles purchases from the project scope. • Everett Station Passenger Amenities - This is a new project.

INTERCITY TRANSIT

REQUEST: Intercity Transit (IT) requests to redistribute $2,325,872 in 2021 5307 Earned Share and $265,918 in 2021 5339 funding from its “FY 21-22 Capital Preventive Maintenance”, “FY 2021- 2022 Replacement Fixed Route Coaches”, and “FY 2021- 2022 Vanpool Vans” projects to its “Pattison MOA Base Rehabilitation and Expansion” project.

Attachment: C - Additional Information on 2021 FTA Redistribution Requests (3110 : Federal Transit Administration Funding Annual

Packet Pg. 37 6.i.c

RATIONALE: The redistribution is needed because IT has recently received additional FTA competitive awards, allowing all phases of the Pattison Base Project to advance. Since this project is a high priority, they are asking to redistribute funds from other projects.

PROJECT SCOPE IMPACTS: • Pattison MOA Base Rehabilitation and Expansion – The scope will not change but all phases are now planned for construction. Other funding sources will be reduced to keep the total project budget constant. • FY 21-22 Capital Preventive Maintenance – The project will add other funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • FY 2021- 2022 Replacement Fixed Route Coaches - The project will add other funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • FY 2021- 2022 Vanpool Vans – The project will reduce the scope by fifty vanpools, reflecting decreased demand due to the pandemic.

KING COUNTY METRO

REQUEST: King County Metro (KCM) requests to redistribute: • $40,417,979 in 2021 5307 Earned Share and Preservation Set-aside finding from its “60 - Ft Hybrid Bus Replacements 2021-2022” and “West Seattle Terminal Replacement” projects to its existing “KCM Service Expansion Battery Electric Bus Service” and “Route 48 South Electrification” projects and four new projects: “Vehicle and Facilities Maintenance 2021-22”, “KCM Bus Base Building HVAC Replacements”, “KCM South Base Complex Electrification”, and “KCM LINK Integration Projects”. • $7,581,876 in 2021 5337 HIMB funding from its ““60 - Ft Hybrid Bus Replacements 2021-2022” project to the new “Vehicle and Facilities Maintenance 2021-22” project.

RATIONALE: The redistribution from “60 - Ft Hybrid Bus Replacements 2021-2022” is needed due to COVID related budget impacts on KCM’s fleet plan, which resulted in plans to purchase fewer buses. The reduction of funds from the “West Seattle Terminal Replacement” project is also due to a COVID related scope and budget reductions. The funding will instead be applied to other eligible projects identified as priorities in the KCM capital budget process because they can more immediately and efficiently utilize the federal funds.

PROJECT SCOPE IMPACTS: • 60 - Ft Hybrid Bus Replacements 2021-2022 – This project will reduce the number of hybrid and fully electric buses purchases in the current scope. • West Seattle Terminal Replacement - The project scope will be reduced by only moving forward on a site evaluation and Preliminary Engineering effort on Phase 1 of the project. Phase 1 is a mobility hub with vehicle parking, bus loading, and pedestrian and bicycle amenities. • KCM Service Expansion Battery Electric Bus Service - The project will remove local funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • Route 48 South Electrification - The project will remove local funding sources to keep the total project budget constant. • New projects: o Vehicle and Facilities Maintenance 2021-22 o KCM Bus Base Building HVAC Replacements o KCM South Base Complex Electrification o KCM LINK Integration Projects Attachment: C - Additional Information on 2021 FTA Redistribution Requests (3110 : Federal Transit Administration Funding Annual

ACTION ITEM May 20, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

Subject: Approve 2021 Delivery: Final Supplemental Funding Actions

IN BRIEF

In April the Executive Board approved the distribution of supplemental Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds to projects on the prioritized contingency lists adopted as part of the 2020 project selection process. It was noted at that time that an additional supplemental funding action necessary to achieve the 2021 annual delivery target was still underway, and that information would be brought back to the board for action in May. At its meeting on May 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended approval.

ACTION

The Executive Board should approve supplemental FHWA funding to the list of projects identified in Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION

The Transportation Policy Board was briefed in December and January on the availability of supplemental FHWA funds to be distributed in 2021. These included additional FHWA funds to supplement funds previously programmed through PSRC’s project selection process, as well as two additional FHWA funding sources – from the Highway Infrastructure Program and the Transportation Alternatives Program. The majority of these funds were to be awarded to projects on the prioritized contingency lists adopted as part of the 2020 project selection process, and the remaining funds will be distributed via smaller regional competitions to be held in the Fall1.

1 Competitions for 2022-2024 Transportation Alternative Program funding and for PSRC’s Rural Town Centers and Corridors Program will be held later in 2021.

Doc ID 3111 Packet Pg. 40 7.a

PSRC worked closely with project sponsors on the adopted regional and countywide contingency lists, as well as with the four countywide forums and the Regional Project Evaluation Committee (RPEC). Projects recommended to receive the supplemental funding were approved by the Executive Board in April 2021.

At the same time this work was underway, the process to ensure the region’s annual delivery target for FHWA funds was also in process. As a reminder, regions must meet their delivery target for that year’s FHWA funds or risk losing the unused portion of funds to other parts of the state. PSRC’s adopted policies direct the use of the five prioritized strategies listed below that would be implemented when there are not enough projects able to deliver in a given year and additional measures need to be taken in order to meet the required annual delivery target. This may happen due to projects being delayed and/or returning funds for a variety of reasons.

Strategies 1 and 2 work with projects that have already been awarded PSRC funds and can help the region meet the target with no overall increase to funding. When these strategies are exhausted, Strategies 3 through 5 would be implemented as necessary, to award new funds to immediately ready to go projects.

1. Advance projects from later years. 2. Exchange federal funds for local funds between phases or stages of a single project, or between projects within the same agency. 3. Fund immediately ready to go projects from the current adopted contingency lists. 4. Increase the federal share of awarded projects. 5. Solicit new immediately ready to go projects.

PSRC has been working closely with sponsors of every project with current PSRC FHWA funds, as well as projects on the adopted contingency lists, for the past several months in order to ensure the 2021 delivery target will be met. As of April, the work under Strategy 1 was completed, work under Strategies 2 and 4 was in process, and the board approved a supplemental funding action under Strategy 3 for immediately ready to go projects on the prioritized contingency lists. Details of the work underway related to Strategies 2 and 4 were to be brought back to the board in May.

Attachment 1 contains the final list of projects recommended to receive supplemental FHWA funding that will assist the region in meeting the 2021 annual delivery target. These projects had been awarded PSRC funds previously but can accept an increase in the amount awarded. Per the adopted procedures under Strategy 4, the amounts recommended are based on a proportional distribution of the remaining amount of funds needed to achieve the delivery target. Also shown for informational purposes are the projects able to exchange federal and local funds under Strategy 2 above.

From: Josh Brown, Executive Director

Subject: Regional Aviation Baseline Study Completed

IN BRIEF

In early 2019, PSRC launched a Regional Aviation Baseline Study to build on the master planning work underway at many of the region’s airports, consider future regional aviation needs and concerns, and to set the stage for future aviation planning. At the May Executive Board meeting, staff will review key findings from the final report, brief the board on the availability of supporting data and documents, and identify next steps.

DISCUSSION

PSRC has completed work on the Regional Aviation Baseline Study. The final report and supporting materials for this project are being released in May. The Regional Aviation Baseline Study provides a foundation for regional decision makers as they consider if the region should accommodate the growing demand for aviation, and how to do so. The study was designed to provide an understanding of the regional aviation system and forecast future needs. The desired outcomes of the study were to:

• Identify the roles of each airport and the aviation activities within the region • Provide a regional perspective on how aviation activities in the study area interact with each other, the community, and the broader economy • Obtain input from stakeholders about their needs and build a common understanding about aviation and airspace constraints • Identify future aviation needs within the central Puget Sound region and set the stage for future planning Aviation plays a critical role for people and businesses in the growing central Puget Sound region, which is currently home to 29 airports of varied sizes and functions.

Doc ID 3126 Packet Pg. 44 8.a

Continued, coordinated planning is essential for ensuring that the regional airport system can support existing and future demand. As part of these efforts, PSRC launched the Regional Aviation Baseline Study, funded by a $1.6 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

In a separate effort, in 2019 the Washington State Legislature created the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC), which was tasked with recommending a new primary commercial aviation facility and additional ways to add capacity to accommodate future demand at other facilities.

As the Regional Aviation Baseline study has been underway, staff and consultants have shared key findings with PSRC’s Executive Board and the public, including market trends, regional forecasts, airspace flow analysis, landside and airside capacity needs, scenarios for addressing increased demand, and a summary of stakeholder engagement efforts. The study and its findings have been provided to the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC) and will be transmitted to the Governor, State Legislature, PSRC members, and the general public.

DISCUSSION ITEM May 20, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Josh Brown, Executive Director

Subject: Briefing on Regional Housing Strategy

IN BRIEF

Housing access and affordability are key policy areas in VISION 2050, the region’s long-range plan for growth. VISION 2050 calls for the region to better assess and address housing needs through a coordinated regional housing strategy and a regional housing needs assessment. Executive Board members will be briefed on work to date and next steps in the development of the Regional Housing Strategy. No action is required at this time. The housing strategy will return to the Executive Board later this year for review and action.

DISCUSSION

Background Housing was identified as a critical regional issue in VISION 2050, which includes a new housing action (H-Action-1) that directs PSRC to develop a regional housing strategy, including a regional housing needs assessment. The regional housing strategy is intended to serve as a “playbook” of regional and local actions to move towards the region’s goal to preserve, improve, and expand its housing stock to provide a range of affordable, accessible, healthy, and safe housing choices to every resident and to promote fair and equal access to housing for all people.

Based on board and committee review and direction set in H-Action-1, the Growth Management Policy Board developed a project work plan that identifies general direction for the project, issues to address, roles and responsibilities, and timeline. A Housing 101 presentation provides a glossary of common terms and background about housing issues.

Doc ID 3121 Packet Pg. 46 9.a

Regional Housing Needs Assessment PSRC completed a draft Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to analyze conditions, trends, and gaps in the region’s housing stock and to demonstrate how local and subregional housing need and supply fit into the regional picture. The findings of the needs assessment will inform the forthcoming strategy. The RHNA Executive Summary and draft full report are now available.

In addition to the quantitative data analysis included in the needs assessment, PSRC is holding a series of focus groups to engage residents dealing with the day to day impacts of rising housing costs and disparities in access to housing that were created and have been perpetuated by systemic racism. Feedback from the focus groups is incorporated into the Regional Housing Needs Assessment and is helping to inform the development of the draft strategy.

Regional Housing Strategy Goals and Actions Using the data analysis of the needs assessment, output from the discussions with residents and stakeholders, and the policy direction in VISION 2050, the Growth Management Policy Board is working to identify, categorize, and prioritize housing strategies. The potential goals and strategies for the Regional Housing Strategy have been organized into the following three broad categories: Supply, Stability and Subsidy. The Growth Management Policy Board is in the middle of assessing the opportunities in each of these categories and working to identify strategies that have the greatest potential to address housing needs at a regional level, at the scale needed, and that support the housing goals of VISION 2050. These goals and strategies will continue to evolve as the board completes its work.

Supply: Build more housing of different types • Allow for more housing choices in neighborhoods near transit to provide greater access for more people • Reduce the costs to build housing corresponding with regulations and fees • Allow and/or incentivize more housing types, specifically middle density housing, to provide greater housing choice for people at all stages of life

Stability: Provide opportunities for residents to live in housing that meets their needs • Strengthen tenant protections to provide opportunities for residents to continue to live in their communities • Leverage growth near transit to incentivize and/or require the creation and preservation of long-term affordable housing

Doc ID 3121 Packet Pg. 47 9.a

Subsidy: Create and sustain long-term funding sources to create and preserve housing for very low-income households and unhoused residents • Identify public, private, and philanthropic funding to finance the acquisition and construction of affordable housing • Develop local funding options and coordinate to leverage funds at the regional and subregional level to better support housing options for the region’s most vulnerable residents

Tailoring a Regional Strategy to Different Types of Places The Regional Housing Strategy is an opportunity to provide both overarching regional approaches to increase consistency and collaboration in housing work and also local and individual actions to best fit communities. These high-level goals will include a range of actions tailored to different types of places. The housing strategy will seek to provide a common regional approach while tailoring recommendations to specific types of locations based on their needs and opportunities.

NEXT STEPS

The Growth Management Policy Board is continuing to develop draft goals and strategies for the Regional Housing Strategy over of the next couple of months and is working towards the potential to release a draft for public comment this summer. Work to refine the draft in response to comments will continue this fall and the Executive Board will continue to be briefed as the housing strategy develops.

PSRC is currently fielding a short online survey to gather more input from residents prior to more focused engagement efforts during the public comment period this summer.
