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.
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 2026-2031 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 Widenin
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.
Introduction
City of Auburn Transportation Improvement Program
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
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 unsecured grant funding as shown on the project sheets and the
financial summary. 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. A summary table of all the
TIP project is included as Appendix A.
An interactive map of the projects included in the TIP is available on the City's website:

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 31 st 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. 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).
Project Status:
Preliminary design in occurred for this project in 2022/2023 with the R St Preservation Project.
Design is underway in 2024/2025 with property acquisition (ROW) anticipated in 2024/2025 and
construction 2026/2027, if grant funding can be secured to fully fund the construction phase.

Project Title: S 277th St Corridor Improvements TIP# S-2
Project No: CP1821
Project Type: Capacity, Safety, Active Transportation STIP# AUB-NA
Project Description:
This project will complete the environmental monitoring requirements related to the S 277th St
corridor widening project between Auburn Way North and I St NE.
Project Need:
The project is needed to address existing stormwater issues which are impacting the pavement,
and reconstruct the roadway.
Project Status:
The 10 year monitoring period began in 2018 after final completion of the construction phase,
and will continue through 2028. For the past two years, the mitigation plantings have suffered
due to the summer drought conditions. As a result, there has been a significant loss of plantings
and replacement is needed to meet performance standards of the wetland mitigation plan.
Additional budget for years 2023 — 2025 has been added to replant portions of the site where
the loss has occurred and provide temporary irrigation during summer months to promote plant
establishment to achieve required plant cover standards.
