What We Do
Kitsap County Transportation Planners work with the public, cities, local agencies other County departments, Tribes, and regional organizations to provide an efficient, adaptable, and coordinated multimodal transportation system throughout the County. We provide guidance in the evaluation, assessment, design and placement of transportation facilities. This ensures safe and adequate access for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and other roadway users.
Mission: To fully implement the mandates of the Washington State Growth Management Act under RCW 36.70A.070 (6).
Public Works prepares a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and annual construction program to update and coordinate the county's future plans for road and transportation improvements.
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
The 2024 Kitsap County Comprehensive Safety
Action Plan commits Kitsap County to the goal of reaching zero serious injury
or fatal traffic collisions by 2030 using the Safe System Approach to build
redundant safety measures throughout our local agency. The Safe System approach
is a holistic and comprehensive approach to traffic safety that provides a
guiding framework to make routes safer for all modes of travel by focusing on
creating safer people, safer roads, safer vehicles, safer speeds, and efficient
post-crash care.
Transportation Studies
Transportation Impact Fee Rate Study - 2021The Transportation Impact Fee Study shows how an updated Kitsap County transportation impact fee rate is developed. It describes the existing impact fee rate, the basis for the fee, the rate methodology, the impact fee project list, and includes the new recommended fee rate. Transportation impact fees are collected to fund improvements that add capacity to the transportation system, accommodating the travel demand created by new development.
