Planning Projects

MTP/RTP

Skagit and Island Counties are Washington State’s 11th and 14th most populous counties respectively, with a total population of just over 190,000, and are expected to grow by between 50,000 and 100,000 residents over the next 20 years. The area is also a burgeoning commercial/industrial center and a regional tourist attraction. The Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Plan is an important planning document that addresses future transportation needs over the next 20 years, to ensure the timely and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the region. The Plan is officially known as the Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Plan, or M/RTP, but for the sake of simplicity it is referred to as the Regional Transportation Plan.

An update to the Plan is needed to comply with federal and state planning requirements and new federal laws, and to maintain the region’s eligibility for state and federal transportation improvement funds.
