To prepare the draft plan, PSRC staff conducted detailed analyses of our current and future transportation network, and collected feedback at board and committee meetings, community meetings, open houses, focus group interviews, surveys, and direct outreach. You can review the plan, detailed analyses and background information on the Draft Regional Transportation Plan page.

Submit your feedback in three easy steps:

Review the draft plan and supporting documents.
Share your feedback on the plan by February 2, 2026. Comments can be submitted by:

Website: Comment Form
Email: RTPcomment@psrc.org
US Mail: 1201 3rd Ave #500, Seattle, WA 98101

Watch our transportation network grow!

I’ve given feedback. What’s next?
PSRC staff will share your feedback with the Transportation Policy Board. The Board will direct staff to refine the draft plan before recommending it for adoption by the General Assembly. The General Assembly is expected to adopt the plan at it’s annual meeting in May 2026.

Managing hazardous waste

If any hazardous products got wet or damaged, set them aside in a safe spot until you can bring them in for proper disposal.
Do not open the containers or try to empty them. Leave the labels on so staff can tell what the product is.
If something is leaking, place the whole container inside a sturdy bin or bucket to keep the mess contained.
Keep everything away from kids and pets.

When in doubt, stop and get guidance.
If the label is gone or unreadable, treat the item as hazardous. Do not pour anything down storm drains, sinks or outside on the ground.
Reach out if you have any questions. Contact the Hazardous Waste team at haz.waste@kingcounty.gov or 206-296-4692.
