PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT BOARD
[Filed December 14, 2022, 3:24 p.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 479-10 WAC.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapters 47.26, 47.66 RCW; RCW 47.04.320, 47.04.325.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The complete streets program was established in 2015 as part of the connecting Washington transportation package. Three grant cycles have been completed and both agency customers and the board have identified the need to realign the program to be consistent with the transportation improvement board's existing programs. In addition, the state legislature enacted move ahead Washington in 2022, which has included Climate Commitment Act funding. This requires modifying existing chapter 479-10 WAC.
Process for Developing New Rule: Negotiated rule making.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Gena Workman, P.O.
