State law and Authority policy also provides an opportunity for the public to comment prior to adoption of the updated TDP. Accordingly, a public comment period was noticed and posted in a number of locations including the Intercity Transit website and The Olympian newspaper. A formal Public Hearing was properly noticed and held during the Transit Authority's August 7, 2019, regular meeting. ______________________________________________________________________________ 4) Background: Under RCW Section 35.58.2795, the State requires each public transit system to submit the Report and Plan during September of each year. While this year’s update is consistent with past procedural reviews, staff anticipates continued discussion over the next several months on elements needed to update the system’s separate Strategic Plan, including budget considerations for 2020. This year’s update to the Transit Development Plan is intended to be consistent with State, regional, and local plans and capital programs as required by statute. Copies of the approved TDP will be distributed to WSDOT, local jurisdictions, and other appropriate organizations and businesses throughout Thurston County. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Alternatives: A. Adopt plan as recommended by staff. B. Delay adoption to a later date. Any date past September would require notification to the State requesting additional time.
