City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program
Introduction
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
Introduction 1
City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program
federal 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:

Management, Safety STIP# AUB-NA
Project Description:
This project rechannelize 10th St NE/NW between B St NW and Auburn Way North to convert the
existing four-lane cross section to a three lane section incorporating bike lanes and a center two-way
left-turn lane. The existing intersection control at the intersection with A Street NE will be revised to
remove the east/west stop-control, and install a new north/south crosswalk to the east of the
intersection. The new crosswalk will be enhanced with a median island and a Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacon (RRFB). The existing signal at D Street NE will require modification to match the new
roadway cross section. The project will also replace the pavement surface between B Street NW and
Auburn Way N.

Project Title: R Street SE Widening (22nd St SE to 33rd St SE) TIP# R-13
Project No: CP2116
Project Type: Capacity STIP# AUB-N/A
Project 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.
