Letters and Reports by Other

Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)

	Congestion Study, November 22, 2006 (external link), which should have been taken more into account by the Washington State Transportation Plan.
	Washington State Transportation Plan, November 2006 (external link), a report that was criticized in draft by ETA here and in a newspaper op-ed here.
	I-90 Center Roadway Study, July 2006 (external link), which presents computer modeling revealing that adding light rail to the I-90 Floating Bridge will reduce vehicle capacity, including cars, trucks, and buses.
	Interstate-405 Corridor Record of Decision, October 2002 (pdf), which ETA regards as an exemplary model for specifying a cost-effective alternative.

Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC)

	Destination 2030 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (external link), first issued in May 2001 and revised slightly every year since.
	Vision 2020 Update Draft EIS (external link), a report that forecasts the 2040 transportation performance resulting from full implementation of Destination 2030 under varying land use density assumptions.  Results - congestion at least doubles from today's levels.

U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)

	Speech in May 2006 (external link) by former DOT Secretary Norman Mineta with this fine declaration by him: "Congestion is not a scientific mystery, nor is it an uncontrollable force. Congestion results from poor policy choices and a failure to separate solutions that are effective from those that are not. We need a new approach, and we need it now."
	National Strategy to Reduce Congestion (external link)
	Federal Register Notice governing Interstate Highway intersection addition justifications (external link), stating the rules under which Sound Transit will seek to substitute dual light rail tracks and a parallel track maintenance access road for the two high-capacity HOV lanes now operational on the I-90 Floating Bridge Center Roadway.
