The City of Sammamish is excited to announce that City Council adopted the City's first Transportation Master Plan on December 3, 2024 via Resolution R2024-1078.

The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) provides a strategic framework to guide transportation decisions and investments for the next 20 years in support of the long-term vision for the city. The goals and policies in the Transportation Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan serve as the foundation for the TMP and the four transportation goals include: supporting growth, providing greater options for mobility, ensuring safety, and sustainability. The TMP is incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan and supports the Transportation Element.

The City Council Public Hearing has been continued to December 3rd at 5:30pm during a Special City Council Meeting. It is anticipated that council will close the public hearing and deliberate that evening.

The TMP will be adopted by reference into Volume 2 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and will provide the framework for developing a multi-modal transportation network that will enhance greater connectivity within the city and to the region. The TMP will address existing and future conditions, roadway classifications, levels of service, transit and non-motorized modes, transportation system improvements, financing strategies, and concurrency management. It includes the technical basis for multi-modal transportation system development, and future improvement of transportation programs and facilities guided by the goals and polices in the Transportation Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
