King County Road Services - Roads Strategic PlanOverviewTransportation is a critical issue in King County and the surrounding region, affecting quality of life and the economy. Aging roads and bridges, tight budgets, changing communities, and increasing traffic require the Road Services Division to plan facilities and services with exceptional care and efficiency. The King County Comprehensive Plan 2000 called for the division to develop a new transportation plan that identifies and prioritizes road needs over the next several years. The Roads Strategic Plan is a functional plan that focuses on the delivery of road facilities and services. It is consistent with, and expands on, the Comprehensive Plan, providing a bridge between the Comprehensive Plan's high-level policy guidance and the day-to-day practices, procedures, and decision-making of the Road Services Division. It highlights broad transportation goals, targeted strategies, and associated action steps, and will serve as an implementation guide for Comprehensive Plan transportation policies. The plan also articulates the division's regional roles, provides direction for prioritizing road projects, and provides guidance for decisions on spending transportation dollars. The Roads Strategic Plan is intended to be a practical, action-oriented guide for widely varied users, including county staff and management, elected officials, and the public.
