Public Hearing for the Transit Development Plan

PUBLIC HEARING 2025-2030 TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND 2024 ANNUAL REPORT

SUMMARY STATEMENT:

The Transit Development Plan (TDP) is drafted by RiverCities Staff and approved by the Cowlitz Transit Authority annually. It serves to fulfill both RCW’s 35.58.2795 and 35.58.2796 which requires the creation of a Public Transportation System Six-Year Transit Plan and Annual Report, respectively.

The Washington State Department of Transportation is required to develop an annual report that summarizes the status of public transportation systems in the state for the previous calendar year. RiverCities Transit is required to submit this annual report to assist in the development of that statewide plan. The plan must include the following elements:

  • Plan adoption, public hearing, and distribution
  • State and agency goals, objectives, and action strategies
  • Local performance measures
  • Planned capital expenses
  • Planned operating changes
  • Multiyear financial plan
  • Projects of regional significance

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

RCT will hold the public hearing to review the 2025-2030 Transit Development Plan and the 2024 Annual Report on July 9, 2025 at 4 PM
