Regional Transportation Plan

The Transportation Policy Board enjoyed an overview data presentation on the preliminary results of the analysis of the Regional Transportation Plan. The new Regional Transportation Plan being developed will extend the planning horizon to 2050 and provide a blueprint for improving mobility as the region grows. The analysis incorporates the draft financial strategy and updated project

list. The presentation covered the analysis geographies, transit boardings and access, truck travel, delay per household, mode of transportation, and miles driven per household. Next steps include a future conditions visualization tool and further detail on climate. Watch the meeting video.

For more information, contact Craig Helmann at (206) 389-2889 or chelmann@psrc.org.

Equity

The Transportation Policy Board was briefed on PSRC’s work to develop a Regional Equity Strategy, the new Equity Advisory Committee, the joint board workshop on equity held in July, and the incorporation of equity in the agency’s transportation work programs. The board met in small groups to further discuss how to incorporate equity in the Regional Transportation Plan. Video of the breakout sessions is available here.

Board recommends Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers Framework

The Growth Management Policy Board recommended the Executive Board

approve the Administrative Procedures for the Regional Centers Framework. Staff briefed the board on the development of the procedures and described the two categories of procedures: changing center characteristics and designation maintenance and monitoring. The administrative procedures clarify expectations for new and existing regional centers and implement the Regional Centers Framework and VISION 2050.

For more information, contact Liz Underwood-Bultmann at lunderwood- bultmann@psrc.org.

Update on equity workshop and Equity Advisory Committee

Equity is a key policy area in VISION 2050. To help board members and staff more effectively integrate equity into their work, PSRC hosted a joint board workshop in July led by Glenn Harris, President of Race Forward. The workshop touched on topics such as the difference between equity and equality and why we should lead with race. Board members who participated in the workshop offered their

perspectives and the board discussed ideas for future equity-related sessions.

CONSENT AGENDA September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Operations Committee

Subject: Adopt 2021 Title VI Plan

IN BRIEF

As a recipient of federal funds, the Puget Sound Regional Council is required to have a Title VI Plan. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ensures that no person in the United States of America shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Recommend the Executive Board adopt the 2021 Title VI Plan.

DISCUSSION

PSRC’s Title VI Plan ensures that all of the agency’s activities are conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner. The plan covers five program areas: (1) Communications &

Public Involvement, (2) Planning & Programming, (3) Environmental Affairs, (4) Contracts, and (5) Education & Training.

PSRC adopted its first Title VI Plan in 2004 and updates the plan every three years as required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). This update provides current information on membership, planning processes, translation practices and

demographic data. The full plan can be found online at https://www.psrc.org/title-vi.

FTA requires that the Title VI Plan be adopted by the Executive Board and signed by PSRC’s President and Executive Director.

CONSENT AGENDA September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Becky Erickson, Chair, Operations Committee

Subject: Approve Recognizing Juneteenth as an Official Holiday

IN BRIEF

PSRC has generally recognized official state holidays as part of its total compensation package, and to align staff availability with those of its member jurisdictions. Adding an additional holiday is a major change to PSRC’s leave benefits and staff is therefore seeking authority to recognize Juneteenth as a recognized official PSRC holiday beginning in 2022.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Recommend the Executive Board authorize the Executive Director to amend PSRC’s Employee Handbook, Section V, Holidays, to add Juneteenth, June 19, as a recognized official PSRC holiday, effective in 2022.

ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT

The estimated fiscal impact of adding an additional paid holiday for PSRC staff is approximately $57,000 for the FY2022-2023 biennium. PSRC charges costs for benefits, including paid leave, under its approved indirect cost plan. PSRC’s indirect cost plan has a benefits rate and an indirect cost rate. The Executive Board most recently approved PSRC’s benefits rate of 58.14% at its July 22, 2021, meeting. This additional holiday will be factored into the recommended FY2023 indirect costs rate proposal.

DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” More than two years passed before African

Americans living in Texas learned the news that slavery had been abolished and they were free.

On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger, with 2,000 federal troops at his command, arrived at Galveston, Texas, to establish a federal presence in the state at the end of the Civil War. Though Robert E. Lee had surrendered Confederate troops at

Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia two months earlier, enslavement continued in Texas, where many slaveholders had moved. They considered Texas a safe haven from federal enforcement of the January 1, 1863, Emancipation Proclamation, because of that state’s remoteness from the primary theater of the war.

On that date, General Granger read General Order Number 3, as follows:

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere”.1

African Americans greeted the announcement of General Order Number 3 with

spontaneous celebration, which began a tradition in Texas of marking the anniversary of freedom on Juneteenth. That anniversary date took root in many African American communities in the late 19th century and continued as a grassroots annual celebration.

During the Reconstruction and Jim Crow eras, however, Juneteenth was not accorded official respect or recognition.

On January 1, 1980, Juneteenth officially became a Texas state holiday. Al Edwards, a freshman state representative, put forward the bill, H.B. 1016, making Texas the first state to grant this emancipation celebration. Since then, 49 other states and the District of Columbia have also commemorated or recognized the day.

On June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden signed bipartisan legislation making

Juneteenth a federal holiday effective June 19, 2021. On April 9, 2021, the Washington State Legislature officially made Juneteenth a state holiday in Washington State

effective June 19, 2022. Both King County and Pierce County have adopted ordinances making Juneteenth an official County holiday, beginning in 2022. Many of PSRC’s

1 Congressional Research Service Juneteenth Fact Sheet https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44865.pdf

6.d

(15)

member jurisdictions are currently considering recognizing Juneteenth as an official holiday.

Juneteenth is an important opportunity to reflect on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and how to move closer toward truly exemplifying these ideals. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions African Americans have made, and continue to make, in the central Puget Sound region, in Washington state, and across our nation.

PSRC does not currently recognize Juneteenth as an official holiday. It recognizes the following days as paid holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,

Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. It also grants employees two paid floating holidays.

CONSENT AGENDA September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Dana Ralph, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

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

IN BRIEF

Three agencies submitted five projects this month for routine amendment into the Regional TIP. The projects are summarized in Exhibit A. These projects were awarded local, state, and federal funding through various funding processes, such as the National Highway Performance Program 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 September 9, 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).

6.e

(17)

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 federal and state funding sources are referenced in Exhibit A.

NHPP National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) Provides support for the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS).

6.e

(18)

NHFP National Highway Freight Program improved the efficient of freight on US highways that are part of the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN).

CONSENT AGENDA September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Mayor Dana Ralph, Chair, Transportation Policy Board

Subject: Approve Transit Safety Targets

IN BRIEF

At its meeting on July 8, 2021 the Transportation Policy Board was provided a briefing on the development of federally-mandated regional transit safety performance targets. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires that PSRC adopt the targets by September 23, 2021. At its meeting on September 9, the Transportation Policy Board recommended adoption of the targets.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should adopt the regional transit safety performance targets.

DISCUSSION

Federal transportation legislation requires transit agencies to develop a Public Transportation Safety Plan (PTASP), including transit safety performance targets for specific FTA-required performance measures. FTA’s transit safety performance plans and targets are applicable to most transit providers and their specific modes within the PSRC region. Exceptions to this rule are Sounder commuter rail, Amtrak and ferries, all of which are covered under other existing federal safety programs. FTA rules call for developing transit safety performance targets for three modes: fixed route bus, non-fixed route bus, and rail (for light rail and streetcar).

Metropolitan Planning Organizations such as PSRC have 180 days after receipt of the last transit agency safety target to develop regional transit safety targets that meet FTA requirements. In order to meet this deadline, the Executive Board must approve the regional transit safety targets at its meeting on September 23, 2021.

6.f

(22)

Transit agencies within the PSRC region have been working to develop agency-specific transit safety plans to comply with FTA requirements. These plans include assessment of data and trends relating to safety to allow agencies to develop their own agency-specific targets for FTA-specified performance measures.

Similar to other FTA performance targets, PSRC has worked with transit agency safety staff and the Transportation Operators Committee (TOC) to develop a set of regional transit safety performance targets that incorporate the various agency-specific targets.

The TOC-recommended regional transit safety targets are found in Table 1.

Table 1: Draft PSRC Region Transit Safety Targets

At the July 8th briefing, PSRC staff provided additional background information on the development of the targets and agency specific transit safety data. During the discussion board members raised questions about more detailed transit safety data and historic trends, particularly relating to pedestrians. Subsequent research into these questions indicates that this more granular level of data is not currently available in a consistent manner across agencies, and a regional aggregate analysis is not yet viable. However, PSRC will continue to engage with transit agencies in the future to improve on data collection and analysis of these safety issues.

CONSENT AGENDA September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Councilmember Scott Bader, Chair, Growth Management Policy Board

Subject: Approve the Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers

IN BRIEF

PSRC staff has developed administrative procedures for regional centers, as called for in the Regional Centers Framework (adopted by the Executive Board in March 2018) and VISION 2050. On September 2, the Growth Management Policy Board took action and recommended that the Executive Board approve the administrative procedures.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should approve the Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers.

DISCUSSION

Centers are the hallmark of VISION 2050 and the Regional Growth Strategy. They guide regional growth allocations, advance local planning, inform transit service planning, and represent priority areas for PSRC’s federal transportation funding.

The first regional centers were designated in 1995 and, over the years,

regional and local policies have focused investments and growth into these central places. Today, there are 29 regional growth centers and 10 regional

manufacturing/industrial centers.

In March 2018, the Executive Board adopted the Regional Centers Framework, which made significant changes to regional centers. The framework calls for the development of administrative procedures for existing centers to implement the framework and ensure regional consistency in centers planning and monitoring. Inconsistent

6.g

(24)

designation procedures and changes to the regional framework over time resulted in an uneven playing field and different expectations for new and existing centers. The

Regional Centers Framework Update established criteria and planning expectations that apply to all regional centers.

The administrative procedures are intended to clarify expectations for new and existing centers and address:

• Center boundary changes

• Name changes

• Center typology reclassification

• Designation status maintenance

• Subarea plan certification

The procedures are consistent with and do not change the Regional Centers Framework and VISION 2050.

Staff briefed the Regional Staff Committee on the scope of work in July 2020, reviewed draft language in July 2021, and incorporated feedback from the committee. Staff reviewed the draft with planning staff to ensure that the procedures were clear and consistent with the framework.

Attachment A provides the draft administrative procedures, as recommended by the Growth Management Policy Board.

ATTACHMENT A: PSRC Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers

OVERVIEW

VISION 2050 and the Regional Centers Framework (2018) provide a framework for designating and evaluating Regional Growth Centers and Manufacturing/Industrial Centers. The Framework calls for PSRC to develop administrative procedures for centers monitoring.

BACKGROUND ON REGIONAL CENTERS MONITORING

PSRC conducts centers monitoring to assess each center’s performance in accommodating growth consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy, describe physical characteristics, assess potential for accommodating future growth, and review for consistency with Framework criteria. PSRC works with jurisdictions to share data, review and certify subarea plans, and update center characteristics.

PURPOSE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

These administrative procedures work to clarify processes and questions from jurisdictions and support PSRC boards in consistently monitoring regional centers. The procedures ensure both ongoing

maintenance and periodic monitoring of centers is consistent across all regional centers.

Note: Countywide and local centers are monitored at the local level. These procedures only apply to regional centers.

PART 1. CHANGING CENTER CHARACTERISTICS

Local planning efforts can result in changing center characteristics. This section details how PSRC and jurisdictions work together to ensure regional centers maintain consistency with the Regional Centers Framework as additional planning work, such as updating subarea plans or comprehensive plans, is done.

A. Name Changes. If a jurisdiction decides to change the name of a regional center, they should provide a letter to PSRC staff denoting the name change based on an adopted plan or council resolution. The jurisdiction should also notify the countywide planning group of the name change. Name changes are not subject to PSRC board review and may be updated in VISION 2050 in conjunction with another scheduled update or amendment to the plan.

B. Center Boundary Changes. Center boundaries should follow parcel boundaries and splitting parcels should be avoided. Boundaries should not appear gerrymandered or irregular, and centers should be contiguous areas. Inclusion of non-contiguous parcels is discouraged. Center boundaries may be refined as subarea planning occurs, but boundary changes can have

implications for the overall configuration and make-up of the center.

1. Minor boundary changes include one or more of the following that increases or decreases the center boundary by less than 10%:

a. Adjustments that better follow geographic features or topography. These may include fixing mapping errors from previous plans.

b. Adjustments that result from changes to rights-of-way or property line adjustments.

c. Adjustments based on updated subarea planning and development opportunities.

Minor boundary changes are processed administratively by providing PSRC staff with an updated GIS shapefile and explanation of changes.

2. Major boundary changes include one or more of the following:

6.g.a

Attachment: A - Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers (3201 : Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers)

(26)

ATTACHMENT A: PSRC Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers

b. Those resulting in inconsistency with center criteria, including size requirements, mix of uses, etc.

c. Gerrymandered or irregular changes that result in less compact, walkable centers or noncontiguous centers.

Jurisdictions should submit a written request and updated shapefile. Major boundary changes require review and approval by the Growth Management Policy Board.

Jurisdictions will work with PSRC staff to prepare a report detailing the requested boundary change. Jurisdictions should notify countywide planning groups of requests for major boundary changes prior to Growth Management Policy Board review.

C. Center Typology Reclassification. Changes to a center’s typology (RGC-Urban, RGC-Metro, MIC-Industrial Growth, and MIC-Industrial Employment) may occur following a PSRC monitoring period or during a regional plan (VISION) update. If a jurisdiction requests a change to typology outside of these windows, they must submit a request to the Growth Management Policy Board.

Changes to typology may be updated in VISION 2050 in conjunction with another scheduled update or amendment to the plan.

D. Voluntary Removal of Designation. If a jurisdiction no longer wishes to have a regionally designated center, the following coordination is required:

1. The jurisdiction must notify the countywide planning group of their intent to de-designate a center. The countywide planning group may require an amendment to the countywide planning policies.

2. The jurisdiction’s council must adopt and submit to PSRC a resolution or formal letter requesting that the PSRC take action to remove regional designation.

3. PSRC staff will work with the jurisdiction to prepare a staff report for PSRC board consideration. If the request results in a change to the jurisdiction’s regional geography designation, the action would require a VISION plan amendment.

PART 2. DESIGNATION MAINTENANCE & MONITORING

PSRC works with jurisdictions to conduct periodic performance monitoring periods for regional centers.

Centers monitoring reports are presented to PSRC boards for consideration and the following procedures outline potential actions that may result.

A. Center Redesignation. After monitoring occurs, all regional centers that meet each of the criterion outlined in the Regional Centers Framework are automatically redesignated. Center policies and plans may be re-certified concurrent with redesignation.

B. New Center Designation. Application and review of new regional centers will be limited to major regional growth plan updates (VISION 2050 and its successor plans) and approximately every five years, following the results of performance monitoring.

C. Typology Reclassification. If a center is classified as RGC-Metro or MIC-Industrial Employment and are not meeting the criteria for these center types, the center could be

reclassified as RGC-Urban or MIC-Industrial Growth. If a center is classified as RGC-Urban or MIC-Industrial Growth and meets the criteria for increased growth, the center could be

reclassified as RGC-Metro or MIC-Industrial Employment.

(27)

ATTACHMENT A: PSRC Administrative Procedures for Regional Centers

D. Removal of Designation. If a center is not fully meeting the Framework criteria at the time of centers monitoring, PSRC boards may consider removing the regional center designation or consider probationary status until planning requirements are met. Note: The Regional Centers Framework states that in 2025, existing centers will remain designated if they do not meet the new center existing density criteria, provided that the jurisdiction completes a market study that evaluates the potential for and opportunities to best support center growth. The market study must consider a planning horizon reasonably beyond the monitoring period (2025). The market study should show how the center can meet targeted levels of growth within the planning period.

The jurisdiction should demonstrate its work to address opportunities identified in the market study and the center is consistent with other criteria identified in the Framework.

E. Subarea Plan Certification. If a center does not have a certified subarea plan by 2025, PSRC boards may consider removing regional center designation or probationary status until planning requirements are met. Subarea plan certification may occur concurrent with center

redesignation, new center designation, or through a separate board approval process.

ACTION ITEM September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Josh Brown, Executive Director

Subject: American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)

IN BRIEF

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021. PSRC has been working closely with the region’s transit agencies to develop a methodology for the distribution of the $901 million available in Federal Transit

Administration (FTA) funds.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Board should approve the distribution of funding to the region’s transit agencies as identified in Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION

Under federal legislation, PSRC has project selection authority for all projects programming regional funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA). For FTA funds, PSRC is required to coordinate with the region’s transit agencies on agreement for the distribution of funds. Since 2020, three stimulus funding packages have been passed, with FTA funds made available to support transit agencies during the public health emergency.

In April of 2020, the Executive Board approved the distribution of $538 million to the region’s transit agencies made available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and

Economic Security (CARES) Act. The distribution methodology used was PSRC’s long established earned share methodology, which allocates funding based on each

agency’s operating and service characteristics.

7.a

(29)

In April of 2021, the Executive Board approved the distribution of $580 million to the region’s transit agencies made available under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA). The distribution methodology was based on the earned share methodology but with a 2.5% equity adjustment. This deviation was the result of negotiated discussions among the transit agencies due to questions raised at the Executive Board regarding whether or not the earned share methodology was the most equitable way to allocate funds, particularly given the impacts from the pandemic on each transit agency and the legislative intent to support operations and lost revenue. The equity adjustment enabled Everett Transit, Pierce Transit and the Washington State Ferries to receive additional funding.

Discussions have been underway for the distribution of ARPA funds since May. Given continued concerns raised at the Executive Board regarding equity, PSRC’s Executive Committee directed staff to work with the TPB Transit Caucus – members of the Transportation Policy Board who also serve on transit agency boards – to discuss principles and desired outcomes for the funding. These principles would then be applied towards a methodology for distribution of the ARPA funds. The goal was to achieve a recommendation to take to the PSRC boards in September.

As a reminder, there are three urbanized areas (UZAs) in the PSRC region: Bremerton, Marysville and Seattle-Tacoma-Everett. The Bremerton and Marysville UZAs have one transit operator within their borders, and the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA contains multiple transit operators. The ARPA funds for the Bremerton and Marysville UZA were distributed by the Executive Board in July 2021.

The TPB Transit Caucus concluded their discussions in early August. The summary of their discussions on principles and desired outcomes includes the recognition that each agency has different operating characteristics and needs; that funds should continue to support basic operating needs for existing services; and that funds should also be used to assist transit agencies to increase frequency and span of service, particularly for communities currently underserved.

No consensus on a funding distribution of ARPA funds within the Seattle-Tacoma- Everett Urbanized Area (UZA) was reached during subsequent committee discussions, and it was requested that PSRC convene a meeting of the General Managers / Chief Operating Officers (GMs/CEOs) of the region’s transit agencies to develop a

recommendation.

On August 31, the GMs/CEOs convened and developed the consensus

recommendation included in Attachment 1. The recommendation is consistent with the deviated methodology used in the CRRSAA distribution, which provides a 2.5% equity adjustment for Everett Transit, Pierce Transit and the Washington State Ferries. This recommendation reflects the work conducted over the last several months to evaluate service levels and the unique characteristics and needs across all agencies, and represents the consensus of the transit operators for the distribution of this one-time funding under extraordinary conditions. Consensus was further reached that this

7.a

(30)

deviated methodology be applied to the one-time stimulus funding package, and that a return to the established earned share distribution methodology would occur for the standard FTA formula distributions.

ACTION ITEM September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Josh Brown, Executive Director

Subject: Equity Advisory Committee Update

IN BRIEF

PSRC has made progress on regional equity work, including developing the Equity Advisory Committee (EAC). The Executive Board will be briefed on work to date related to the Committee.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

The Executive Director recommends that the Executive Board act to amend the

Operating Procedures for the Equity Advisory Committee to allow for up to 20 members.

DISCUSSION

Regional Equity Strategy

PSRC created a work plan for the Regional Equity Strategy that includes specific tasks the agency will complete to help PSRC more effectively incorporate equity into agency work and provide resources to help jurisdictions elevate equity in the 2024 local

comprehensive plan updates. As part of the Regional Equity Strategy, the Executive Board approved the development of an equity advisory committee that will co-create these resources with staff and board members. PSRC will brief the Executive Board on work to date related to the Committee.

Equity Advisory Committee

The Ad Hoc Equity Advisory Design (AHEAD) Group, an eight-person ad hoc group of government and community organization leaders, worked to develop a proposal to

8.a

(33)

launch a PSRC Equity Advisory Committee to provide a forum for racial equity and to ensure that racial equity would be centered in PSRC work. The committee

recommendation was approved by the Executive Board in March 2021. The AHEAD Group included two members from each county, representing a range of public sector and community organizations working on equity issues. The group met five times to discuss options and develop a recommended approach for the Equity Advisory

Committee (EAC). The recommendations from this proposal guided the outreach and selection process.

PSRC sought applications for new committee members over the summer and received 26 applications from across the region. The Executive Board will hear an overview of the outreach and selection process. Board members will also be asked to make a minor amendment to the Operating Procedures. The original Operating Procedures specified that there would be 15 members on the Committee. Based upon the application process it became evident that the seats should be expanded to up to 20 members in order to ensure adequate geographic and demographic representation on the committee.

NEXT STEPS

PSRC will share a proposed EAC roster with the Executive Board on October 28, 2021, and recommend the Board act to approve moving forward with these applicants as members of the Equity Advisory Committee. The Equity Advisory Committee will begin meeting in November. Please see the schedule below:

• November 2021: Meet and Greet

• December 2021: What is PSRC? What is the role of the EAC?

• January 2022: Equity Dashboard

EQUITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE PUGET SOUND REGIONAL COUNCIL March 2021

Purpose and Responsibilities

VISION 2050, the region’s long-range plan for population and employment growth, centers equity in working to ensure that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities have access to the resources necessary for them to reach their full potential and race can no longer predict life outcomes.

To accomplish this goal, VISION 2050 calls for the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to collaborate with marginalized community voices that are often overlooked in regional planning, to develop a regional equity strategy.

The Equity Advisory Committee (EAC) is a cross-sector working group composed of residents as well as governmental and community-based organizations in the Puget Sound region representing BIPOC communities. The Committee will co-create products (e.g., data tools and planning resources) for the Regional Equity Strategy and other agency projects with staff and the Executive Board as well as advise PSRC committees and policy boards on policies and programs with an equity lens.

Relationship to PSRC Boards, Committees, and Staff

The Committee will report to the Executive Board. The Committee will provide briefings to other PSRC committees and policy boards as needed. Board members may attend Committee meetings if they are invited to listen and answer questions. The Committee is an advisory group responsible for making recommendations and not a PSRC policy-making board.

Subcommittees

The Committee may create working subcommittees to work on specific issues. When appropriate, PSRC staff and board members will work with Committee members to provide support. At the discretion of the Committee, the subcommittees will dissolve when the work is completed. Subcommittees may include community members and subject matter experts not on the EAC but each subcommittee shall include at least one member of the EAC.

Meeting Schedule

The Committee will meet once a month on a day and time that accommodates the needs of members.

To meet the Committee’s needs, PSRC may also provide virtual or in-person meeting accommodations.

Meetings may be cancelled, or additional meetings may be scheduled, by the Committee as needed.

Membership

The Committee will have 15 up to 20 members, composed of residents, elected officials, and staff from governmental and nongovernmental organizations focused on equity issues around the region.

Members will be selected through an application process, with the initial roster determined by PSRC’s Executive Committee and approved by the Executive Board. Subsequent rounds of member selection will be completed by EAC co-chairs, informed by the goals of member selection outlined in these operating procedures, and approved by the Executive Board.

To maintain a healthy balance of experience and fresh ideas, the EAC will stagger terms by allowing members of the first applicant pool to choose the length of their term, from one to three years. After

8.a.a

Attachment: EAC Operating Procedures - Amended (3214 : Equity Advisory Committee Update)

(35)

this initial term, members will serve two-year terms with an opportunity to re-apply. Vacancies on the Committee shall be filled during the next application window.

Committee members are expected to attend the regularly scheduled meetings and actively participate through sharing insights from their lived experience and areas of expertise. Committee members are also expected to review documents to prepare for and potentially accomplish tasks between regularly scheduled meetings.

Membership Composition

The composition of the Committee should provide a full range of voices and perspectives that reflect the diversity of the central Puget Sound region. Emphasis will be made to include members of communities that are not often reflected in decision-making at PSRC.

Demographic representation: Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, low-income residents, people with disabilities, youth

Trade representation: small businesses, service providers, educational institutions

There will be at least two members from each of the four counties in the region: King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish. The remaining seven seats will be at-large.

Recommendations

The Committee seeks to identify all sides of key issues. Recommendations are reached through consensus taken by a vote of the Committee when a majority of the Committee is present. When the Committee is not able to reach consensus, minority positions may be presented, along with the majority recommendation.

Leadership

The Committee will have two co-chairs selected annually by members of the EAC. The role of the co- chairs will be to facilitate discussions, delegate responsibilities to the committee, identify needs for subcommittees and help PSRC staff prepare agendas for each meeting.

DISCUSSION ITEM September 16, 2021

To: Executive Board

From: Josh Brown, Executive Director

Subject: Regional Transportation Plan Update

IN BRIEF

The Executive Board was provided high level briefings on the development of the

Regional Transportation Plan, including the financial strategy and the results of ongoing public outreach, at their meetings in February and June of 2021. At their meeting on September 23, the board will be presented with preliminary analysis results of the plan, a briefing on additional outreach since conducted, and next steps.

DISCUSSION

At their meeting on February 25, the board was provided a briefing on the work conducted to date for the development of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), including new data collection efforts and the development of an existing conditions visualization tool, as well as the key policy focus areas identified by the Transportation Policy Board for in-depth discussions. These include safety, equity, access to transit, climate, local needs and future visioning of the system. At their meeting on June 24, the Executive Board was briefed on the draft plan’s financial strategy, including updates to regional capacity projects, maintenance and preservation needs, and updated revenues and expenditures. The board was also briefed on the results of the representative public survey and other outreach efforts.

As a reminder, the RTP - required to be updated every four years – responds to the priorities and growth strategy identified in VISION 2050. The plan describes how the region will address existing needs and expected growth and improve all aspects of the system for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. The RTP implements the policies and goals identified in VISION 2050, and given the timeframe there is a unique opportunity to provide robust data and guidance to assist and inform the local

9.a

(37)

planning to be undertaken by cities and counties as they develop their comprehensive plans by 2024.

Per direction from the Transportation Policy Board in July, the draft RTP including the financial strategy assumptions and the updated project list was moved forward into modeling and analysis. At their meeting on September 9 the Transportation Policy Board was provided a briefing on the initial results of this analysis.

Staff will review highlights and key performance measures on the draft plan with the Executive Board at their meeting on September 23. In addition, information will be provided on the additional outreach conducted since the last briefing, including results from the on-line survey, youth engagement, and outreach conducted with communities requiring specialized transportation services. The remaining work to be conducted for the development of the plan, including the development of a forecast conditions

visualization tool and an update to the Four-Part Greenhouse Gas Strategy, will also be summarized.

Additional background information on the draft plan will be posted to PSRC’s website in the coming months, at https://www.psrc.org/our-work/rtp. This will include key

performance metrics; the draft Regional Capacity Projects list; findings of the existing and forecast conditions visualization tool; feedback from the various plan outreach efforts, including the representative and online surveys; and information on major plan elements, particularly as they relate to the six key policy focus areas noted above.

For more information, please contact Kelly McGourty, Director of Transportation Planning, at (206) 971-3601 or kmcgourty@psrc.org.
