Scoping Objectives
• Inform & involve the public early
• Solicit agency and public input
• Evaluate/respond to comments
• Use scoping to inform the planning effort
• Set the plan direction & focus the EIS:
- Key Issues to be addressed
- Environmental impacts considered
- Criteria for evaluating alternative
- Alternatives to be evaluated
8
Key Issues the Plan Will Address
• Congestion and mobility• Environment and energy
(includes air quality, climate change, Puget Sound)
• Support VISION 2040• Tolling and congestion pricing• Investment in transit• System and demand management• Transportation funding• Investment prioritization

Environmental Impacts
Other Impacts to be studied:
• Transportation• Land Use• Population, employment, and
housing• Visual quality and aesthetics• Ecosystems• Energy and natural resources• Earth Environmental health• Human health• Public services and utilities• Recreation• Historic and cultural resources• Environmental justice• Cumulative effects• SAFETEA-LU requirements
Key Impacts to be studied:
• Air quality/ conformity• Water quality and impacts on
Puget Sound• Climate change
Over 200 comments expressed concerns about air quality, the health of Puget Sound, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change
10
Criteria Objectives
• Improve the mobility of people and goods in the Central Puget Sound region and reduce energy needs.
• Create an efficient land use pattern for the provision of infrastructure, facilities, and services.
• Promote economic prosperity. • Protect the natural environment.• Promote an overall high quality of life.• Distribute transportation benefits and costs
equitably.
11
Criteria
• Transportation Efficiency• Growth Management (the objectives of the
Regional Growth Strategy• Economic Prosperity (the objectives of the
Regional Economic Strategy).• Environmental Stewardship• Quality of Life• Equity-Including those with Special Needs

Notes All of these metrics will be developed from the integrated land use and travel modeling system. The D2030 Scoping Process has helped to influence these criteria.(1) These metrics are multimodal and can be stratified by trucks, SOV, HOV, transit, walk and bike modes
