Seattle Transportation Plan replaces individual modal plans

In 2024, we adopted the Seattle Transportation Plan (STP), outlining our vision for the next 20 years. Our earlier modal plans are now replaced by the STP's eight elements focused on mobility options and street functions. Soon, this page will be redirected to the STP page and reports will be available in our document library. Please update your links.

Freight Master Plan

The City of Seattle developed a Freight Master Plan (FMP) to address the unique characteristics, needs, and impacts of freight mobility. The plan helps us understand why freight is so important to the city and the region, examine the challenges of moving freight, and develop solutions to address the challenges. The FMP primarily focuses on urban truck freight movement to support Seattle's increasing demand for goods and services in a safe and reliable manner. The plan outlines the critical role that freight movement has on meeting the City's goals for social equity, economic productivity, sustainability, and livable neighborhoods.

The Freight Master Plan will include elements that have been a part of the other citywide modal master plans such as an existing conditions report, a policy framework, future conditions assessment, identification of near- and long-term improvements, design guidelines, and the creation of an implementation strategy that includes a data-driven prioritization framework.The plan will also consider how the freight network could be updated based on where trucks are actually traveling and in relation to other transportation modes and priorities.
