Corridor Planning
Corridor planning is a strategic process that involves analyzing transportation needs and developing plans to address those needs to improve access, mobility, safety, and operating conditions. Transportation corridors are used to move people and goods across all modes and can be local or regional in scale.
DivisionConnects
DivisionConnects was a collaborative 2-year transportation and land use study led by SRTC and Spokane Transit Authority. This study looked at the opportunities and challenges on Division Street with the planned completion of the North Spokane Corridor and the implementation of bus rapid transit (BRT) on Division Street. Division Connects initiated community conversations about the future of the Division Street corridor and is foundational to Spokane Transit Authority’s work on designing and implementing bus rapid transit.
Division Connects concluded in the Summer of 2022. The Phase 1 Corridor Development Plan was adopted by the SRTC Board of Directors on June 10, 2021 and the Phase 2 Vision and Implementation Strategy was adopted by the SRTC Board on September 8, 2022.
US 195/I-90 Study
This 2021 study has identified 26 transportation projects that, when implemented, will improve safety and mobility on the Latah Valley area and accommodate some of the needs of planned development. This study provides potential projects that can be included in regional planning efforts, such as SRTC’s Long-Range Transportation Plan and other efforts by project stakeholders including the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Spokane, Spokane County, and Spokane Transit Authority.
The final report for the US 195/I-90 Transportation Study was adopted by the SRTC Board on December 9, 2021.
