The Puget Sound Regional Council
is updating its Public Participation Plan to reflect its current
practices for public involvement, consultation with interested parties,
interagency consultation, and agency governance and operations, all
in one document for public reference.
PSRC worked with its membership,
boards and committees, interagency consultation process,
stakeholder groups, interested parties and the public to develop its
public involvement practices. PSRC adopted its first Public
Participation Plan in 1993. It was updated in 1994, 2002, 2007 and
last in 2012. It was refined through public processes by
incorporating outreach strategies that proved effective in involving
the public during specific studies, as well as new federal and
state guidance.
PSRC develops policies and coordinates decisions about regional
growth and transportation planning in King, Pierce, Snohomish and
Kitsap counties. The Council is composed of over 80 county, city,
port, transit, tribal and state agencies serving the region. It
coordinates the distribution of about $240 million in Federal
Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration funds each
year. PSRC sets priorities and evaluates the most efficient ways to
target those funds to support state and local transportation and
growth management plans.
