- Human Services Transportation Plan November 2014
- The federal transportation act, SAFETEA-LU, required development of a Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan. The HSTP addresses the transportation needs of the elderly, people with disabilities, low income populations, and rural residents unable to provide transportation for themselves. The first
HSTP for our region was adopted by the RTC Board of Directors in January 2007, and subsequently updated in December 2010. The Plan supports grant requests submitted by agencies from this region for state and federal funding for human services transportation needs through the WSDOT’s statewide competitive Consolidated Public Transportation Grant program.

- 10-Year Transportation Project Priorities Report November 2012, Amended March 2014
- In November 2012, the RTC Board adopted the Ten-Year Transportation Project Priorities Report. Listed projects were identified as being shorter-term needs in the Clark County MTP and were recommended for prioritization analysis by local jurisdictions and transportation agencies. The priority projects were analyzed based on the following transportation performance criteria: safety, mobility, multi-modal and support for economic development. Subsequently, three additional projects emerged as priority projects for this region’s local jurisdictions and were included in the Clark County Transportation Alliance’s 2013-2014 Washington State Legislative Policy Statement. These additional projects are now included in the March 2014 amended 10-Year Project Priorities Report.

- Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations Plan June 2011
- The first TSMO Plan for the Clark County region was adopted by the RTC Board 2011. TSMO strategies focus on lower cost operational and multimodal approaches that are coordinated between technologies and agencies to make better use of existing transportation facilities. These strategies are directed toward improving system efficiency and performance without adding new roadway capacity. They support regional transportation goals by improving travel time reliability, reducing crashes, improving transit on-time performance, and by reducing travel delay, fuel use, and air pollution. TSMO strategies can include a wide range of projects such as: traveler information, freeway management, arterial management, coordinated incident management, and transit signal priority. The 2016 Plan update is now available.

- Transportation and Land Use Scenario Planning Workshop April 2011
- In April of 2011, a FHWA sponsored Transportation and Land Use Scenario Planning Workshop was held in Vancouver, Washington, in partnership with WSDOT and RTC. Scenario planning provides a framework for developing a shared vision for the future by analyzing various forces (e.g., health, transportation, economic, environmental, land use, etc.) that affect growth. A defining characteristic of successful public sector scenario planning is that it actively involves the public, the business community, and elected officials on a broad scale, educating them about growth trends and trade-offs, and incorporating their values and feedback into future plans.

- Transportation Corridor Visioning Study April 2008
- The Transportation Corridors Visioning Study was an effort to identify and assess potential new regional transportation corridors in Clark County and across the Columbia River. The purpose of the Visioning Study was to begin to answer the question: “How would we get around within our own community in the longer-term future if our County reaches one million in population?” The intent of the study was to provide a high-level “50,000-foot level” planning analysis while future phases may assess land use implications and evaluate corridors at a higher level of detail.
