The Pedestrian Element of the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) is a blueprint to create a more walkable Seattle and provides a suite of pedestrian improvements across the City. The intent is to focus resources on access to public schools, parks, and light rail, streetcar, and frequent transit networks12, in areas where walking conditions are difficult, and where people most need to be able to walk. It highlights the needs of people walking and rolling and guides future investments to achieve STP goals.
The process is based on an analysis of factors related to the STP’s goals of safety, equity, sustainability, mobility & economic vitality, livability, and maintenance & modernization. This data-driven prioritization framework helps the city provide targeted improvements that reflect community priorities, City policy objectives, and current data.
Throughout the life of the STP, there will be opportunities to evaluate what has been implemented and what can be prioritized in future funding cycles, within the context of the STP's goals, funding availability and project readiness, and other emergent needs. Decisions made as we craft regular STP Implementation Plans will determine the pace of STP Pedestrian Priority Investment Network implementation.

Frequent, reliable transit service is the foundation of a transportation system that empowers all travelers and makes Seattle a truly transit-friendly city. A robust transit network is essential if Seattle is to meet its climate goals and address transportation-related inequities. At its most fundamental level, a transit network is made up of transit infrastructure such as bus lanes, transit signals, and bus stops, often arranged in corridors.
The transit service that travels on this infrastructure can be described as a series of routes that connect different parts of a community for a number of hours per day at a certain frequency (the number of trips at a bus stop per hour). SDOT’s vision for the service aspect of the transit network is followed by a vision for transit infrastructure in the sections below.
Public input and surveys consistently point to transit frequency as the most critical factor that influences ridership behavior. This fundamental concept directly informs SDOT’s shared vision for a “Frequent Transit Network” (FTN), which builds from the 2016 Transit Master Plan (TMP) and establishes aspirational frequency targets for transit corridors throughout the city. A high-frequency transit network enables people to move through the city with confidence in a timely arrival—and without the need to consult a schedule—throughout the day and every single day of the week. Continual investment in improved transit frequency in Seattle is essential for many reasons:
- Post-pandemic transit is likely to remain less commuter-focused and oriented specifically to Downtown Seattle and must adapt to new travel behaviors and patterns.
- To support everyday trips by transit (not just commutes), people need reliable mobility at all times, such as early mornings, midday, evenings and at night all days of the week, not just at peak times on weekdays.
- Transit needs to accommodate work schedules of non-traditional and low-income workers including the times noted above.
- Transit should be attractive for all types of trips throughout the week, including education, shopping, and recreational trips, as well as cultural gatherings.
- An excellent transit network is necessary to accommodate the mode shift required to respond to the impacts of climate change in the next decade.
- Frequent transit reduces wait time, increases reliability, and values the time for existing and future riders.
- Frequent transit makes transfers more feasible and allows a network of routes to function as a system.
- A connected network of frequent transit services is also critical to achieve STP climate goals, which require dramatic increases in transit ridership and VMT reduction to support broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation.
- High transit frequencies as part of a reliable, all-day service network can create a more equitable transportation system, making it possible for people of all ages, incomes, and abilities to get where they want to go regardless of when or where they need to travel. The Transit Element presents a vision for frequent transit service in Seattle that goes beyond the original Frequent Transit Network (FTN) presented in the 2016 Transit Master Plan.

Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) - Freight Network of streets where freight and goods movement is a priority.
Freight street classifications highlight key elements of the street network serving freight vehicles. They cover functional classification, truck volumes, street types, design guidance, spatial characteristics, and more and are considered when designing streets or determining how to operate the system. Seattle’s Freight Master Plan (FMP; 2016) identified a Freight Network Classification that includes four designations based on truck volumes, land use connections, network connectivity, and roadway classifications.
The freight network designations indicate key routes that trucks use to access the Port, key freight designations, and the regional highway system. Limited access facilities are connected to major truck streets and, to a lesser degree, by minor truck streets.
First-/last-mile connectors are primarily accessed by major and minor truck streets and are located within the MICs. Trucks are permitted to operate on most streets in Seattle, whether or not they are designated as part of the freight network.
In general, limited access facilities are accessed by major truck streets and, to a lesser degree, by minor truck streets. First-/last-mile connectors are primarily accessed by major and minor truck streets and are located in MICs.

The Pedestrian Element of the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP) is a blueprint to create a more walkable Seattle and provides a suite of pedestrian improvements across the City. The intent is to focus resources on access to public schools, parks, and light rail, streetcar, and frequent transit networks12, in areas where walking conditions are difficult, and where people most need to be able to walk. It highlights the needs of people walking and rolling and guides future investments to achieve STP goals.
The process is based on an analysis of factors related to the STP’s goals of safety, equity, sustainability, mobility & economic vitality, livability, and maintenance & modernization. This data-driven prioritization framework helps the city provide targeted improvements that reflect community priorities, City policy objectives, and current data.
Throughout the life of the STP, there will be opportunities to evaluate what has been implemented and what can be prioritized in future funding cycles, within the context of the STP's goals, funding availability and project readiness, and other emergent needs. Decisions made as we craft regular STP Implementation Plans will determine the pace of STP Pedestrian Priority Investment Network implementation.

The Bicycle and E-Mobility Element of the STP will help create a safer, more bikeable Seattle. It provides a foundation for the City of Seattle to grow our investment in bicycling and e-mobility to achieve STP goals. The STP and the Bicycle and E-Mobility Element build on and supersede the 2014 Bicycle Master Plan (BMP). The bicycle and e-mobility network serves not only people riding traditional bicycles, but also people using adaptive bikes, cargo bicycles for both personal use and deliveries, trikes, scooters, skateboards, roller skates, wheelchairs or other wheeled mobility devices, and “e-mobility” devices, which refers to personal and shared electric-powered bicycles, scooters, and other electric-powered devices. It serves people bicycling and taking e-mobility to serve a variety of trip purposes, such as getting to work, school, transit, the gym or doctor's office, recreating, making urban goods deliveries, and more.
The Bike+ network consists of bikeways suitable for people of all ages and abilities (AAA), including protected bike lanes, Neighborhood Greenways, Healthy Streets, and bike lanes where vehicle speeds and volumes are sufficiently low.
The Bike+ network is envisioned to seamlessly integrate with the multi-use trail network, which provides connections through or on the edges of parks and opens spaces, where an off-street connection is preferred, or is more feasible than an on-street connection.
Diagram of an umbrella titled "What is Bike+?" Underneath the umbrella, the following are bulleted - protected bike lane, bike lane (if vehicle speed and volumes low. See Table 4), neighborhood greenway, and healthy street. Many planned projects from the 2014 BMP have been implemented and are shown on the existing bicycle and e-mobility network map. The Bike+ network shows existing and proposed AAA bikeways on Seattle’s arterial and non-arterial (i.e., neighborhood streets) networks.
