PSRC Coordinated Mobility Plan Now Available
To: Community Organizations in Central Puget Sound Region
As you may already know, Puget Sound Regional Council is a public agency responsible for long-term regional transportation planning in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.
We reached out to you in 2025 to collaborate on developing the 2026 Coordinated Mobility Plan, which focuses on improving transportation options for communities facing accessibility and mobility barriers due to age, income, disability status, language spoken, or other circumstances. Thank you to the organizations who invited PSRC to present at their meetings, table at an event, or provided feedback through another venue. We could not have created this plan without your input.
We are pleased to announce that the Coordinated Mobility Plan, along with the rest of the Regional Transportation Plan (2026-2050), was adopted by the General Assembly on May 28. The final adopted Coordinated Mobility Plan is accessible on our website: https://www.psrc.org/planning-2050/regional-transportation-plan/coordinated-mobility-plan
PSRC will now turn our attention to the implementation of these plans. We hope to partner with you and your organization in the future on regional planning efforts.
Thank you for all you do to support communities throughout our region.

Community Forums: Washington Housing Alliance
This summer and fall, the Housing Alliance is traveling around the state to hear from local communities about your needs and priorities. We'll share what we're thinking about for upcoming policy priorities and gather feedback on what you think is most important to focus on for the next several years. This is an opportunity for you to share what policy changes you think are most important to solve the affordable housing and homelessness crisis in your community, and to share specific challenges, opportunities, or trends in your region.

Resource Highlight: Kitsap1
Have you ever seen a pothole, a sign that is broken, or illegal dumping alongside the road? Did you want a fast and easy way to report it? Kitsap County has an app to help residents report problems anywhere in the County. See, Click, Fix is a free, easy-to-use app (Android or IOS) that allows residents to instantly send pictures, specific descriptions and other important information to report potholes, downed signs, traffic signals, illegal dumping and other issues that need attention. It’s also available from the desktop (www.kcowa.us/k1).
The report is sent to County staff and routed to the appropriate County Department or city agency to investigate and respond. Residents are updated through the app as their request is completed. All reports are shown on an area map. This allows users to see other reports in their area and determine if their concern has already been reported.
The app allows users to track their request and see progress made. The software provides a dashboard that allows technicians to monitor responses to ensure timely completion. Residents can even create their own “watch area” to receive notifications about all issues reported in their community-not just the ones they report. Get the app and see the app at www.kcowa.us/k1.
You can always submit concerns through Kitsap1 (360.337.5777) or help@kitsap1.com). Kitsap1 is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Thank you for celebrating with us!
