Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to hold a Public Hearing in consideration of the 2025-2030 Transportation
Improvement Program. See Resolution No. 5768 for further action on this item.
Background for Motion:
Background Summary:
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a multiyear planning tool and document for
the development of transportation facilities within the City and does not represent a financial
commitment by the City. Once the TIP is approved, projects are budgeted and funded
through the City’s biennial budget. The TIP sets priorities for the allocation of secured and
unsecured funding and is a prerequisite of most grant programs. Staff also uses the TIP to
coordinate future transportation projects with needed utility improvements. The projects and
programs identified in the TIP that increase the capacity of the transportation system or
support mode, shifts to reduce vehicle capacity needs, to address growth and development,
and provide the basis for the City’s transportation impact fee program. The TIP also serves
as the City's finance plan for projects and programs funded by the City's Transportation
Benefit District.
RCW 35.77.010 requires that the TIP is amended by June 30 each year.
The date of the Public Hearing was set by consent on June 3, 2024.

Background for Motion:
The Transportation Improvement Program is a multiyear planning document for the
development of transportation facilities within the City. RCW 35.77.010 requires it to be

Background Summary:
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a multiyear planning tool and document for
the development of transportation facilities within the City and does not represent a financial
commitment by the City. Once the TIP is approved, projects are budgeted and funded
through the City’s biennial budget. The TIP sets priorities for the allocation of secured and
unsecured funding and is a prerequisite of most grant programs. Staff also uses the TIP to
coordinate future transportation projects with needed utility improvements. The projects and
programs identified in the TIP that increase the capacity of the transportation system or
support mode, shifts to reduce vehicle capacity needs, to address growth and development,
and provide the basis for the City’s transportation impact fee program. The TIP also serves
as the City's finance plan for projects and programs funded by the City's Transportation
Benefit District.
RCW 35.77.010 requires that the TIP is amended by June 30 each year.
A summary of the proposed changes was presented at City Council Study Session on May

City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program Introduction 1Introduction Purpose The TIP is a 6-year planning tool for the development of transportation facilities within the City and sets priorities for the allocation of funds. State law requires the City to prepare and adopt the TIP and it is a prerequisite of most grant programs. The City also uses the TIP to coordinate future transportation projects with needed City utility improvements. The projects and programs identified in the TIP that increase the capacity of the transportation system or support mode shifts to reduce vehicle capacity needs, to address growth and development, provide the basis for the City’s transportation impact fee program. Statutory Requirements Six Year Transportation Improvement Program - RCW 35.77.010 requires that each City prepare and adopt a comprehensive transportation improvement program for the ensuing six calendar years consistent with its Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). This six-year TIP shall be filed with the Secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) each year within 30 days of adoption. Projects of Regional Significance - RCW 35.77.010 also requires each city to specifically identify those projects and programs of regional significance for inclusion in the transportation improvement program for that region. The 2025-2030 TIP includes three projects of regional significance: TIP Project Number Project Title TIP# R-6 AWS Widening (Hemlock to Poplar) TIP# R-7 M St NE Widening (E Main St to 4th St NE) TIP# R-26 E Valley Highway Widening Transportation Benefit District (TBD) – RCW 36.73.160 requires that the City established a material change policy to address major plan changes that affect project delivery or the ability to finance the plan. The City established its plan with the adoption of Resolution 5680. The plan requires that projects with TBD funding are: 1. Included in the TIP. 2. The TIP shall serve as the City’s finance plan for TBD funded projects. 3. In the event the costs of a TBD funded project exceed the costs established in the TIP by more than twenty percent, the City Council shall hold a public hearing to solicit comments from the public regarding how the cost change should be resolved. Methodology Transportation needs are identified by examining current levels of service, safety and crash history, growth trends, traffic studies and the City’s adopted CTP. The likelihood of receiving Page 45 of 83
City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program Introduction 2federal or state grants for various improvements, community interests and values are also considered. All these factors yield a prioritized list of transportation improvements. Projects are grouped into the following categories based on the type of improvement: • Intersection, Signal & Intelligent Transportation System Projects • Non-Motorized & Transit Projects • Preservation Projects • Roadway Improvement Projects, and • Preliminary Engineering & Miscellaneous Projects. Each project sheet also identifies the type(s) of benefit(s) each project is anticipated to provide to the transportation system consistent with the CTP: • Asset management • Operations • Capacity • Capacity (Mode Shift) • Active Transportation • Safety, and • Economic development The TIP is financially constrained for the entire six years covered by the TIP based on anticipated revenue sources and estimated project and program costs. The revenue sources include both secured and un-secured grant funding. Grant funding is competitive and it is unlikely that all grant funding identified in the TIP will be secured. Strategies to address shortfalls in funding include postponing, re-scoping, canceling, and/or pursuing additional or alternative revenue sources such as those available through the Transportation Benefit District. An interactive map of the projects included in the TIP is available on the City’s website: https://tinyurl.com/TIP-Map Page 46 of 83

R Street SE Widening (22nd St SE to 33rd St SE)CP2116Project Description:The project will construct a second southbound through lane, replace the pavement surface, replace sidewalks, and construct a new separated multi-use trail on R St SE between 22nd St SE and 33rd St SE. The project will also replace the existing traffic signal at 29th St SE, remove the existing pedestrian signal at 31st St and replace it with a full traffic signal at the access to Game Farm Park, and construct utility replacement and improvements. This project is partially funded from the City's Arterial Street Preservation Program ($1.0M General Transportation Funds) and from the City's Active Transportation Mode Shift Program ($750k of Traffic Impact Fees). Additional traffic impact fees are included to fund vehicle capacity provided by the project. Project Need:This project was identified in the R Street Corridor study completed in 2020. The improvements are needed to address existing intersection delay and queuing LOS deficiencies at 29th St SE, provide active transportation facilities that support access to transit and regional trail systems to reduce the need for system vehicle capacity (mode shift), and preserve the existing roadway surface (preservation).CapacitySecured Non-CityUnsecured Non-CityOtherCapital Expenditures:Project Funding:Funding Sources:General TransportationTraffic Impact FeesTraffic Mitigation FeesTransportation Benefit DistrictPrior to 2025 Page 81 of 83
