• Abstract:
  This report summarizes key findings from a one-day scenario planning workshop held in Vancouver, Washington. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC), and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) jointly sponsored and hosted the workshop. RTC is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Vancouver and Portland (Oregon) urbanized area and is the state-designated Regional Transportation Planning Organization for Clark, Skamania, and Klickitat counties in Washington. Clark County has experienced extensive population growth over the past twenty years. The county is expected to add nearly 220,000 people by 2035; however, the Cascade Mountains and two rivers bordering the county leave little room for expansion. RTC aims to use scenario planning as a mechanism to help determine effective land use and transportation plans that can accommodate Clark County’s projected population growth. The goals of the workshop were to: • Provide RTC staff, local elected officials, and Clark County community leaders with an overview of scenario planning and potential process steps; • Share notable examples of how agencies around the country have successfully applied scenario planning; • Demonstrate the benefits of scenario planning; and • Brainstorm potential initial steps for applying scenario planning to Clark County and key resources that might be needed for this effort.
