Joint Compatibility Transportation Plan Overview
The City of Bremerton has been awarded a Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment grant to undertake a comprehensive commuter traffic plan. The award is the culmination of an effort, led by Mayor Wheeler, that demonstrates the Navy’s common interest with the City to resolve traffic and parking conflicts. The study, formally called the “Joint Compatibility Transportation Plan”, will create a responsive and actionable plan to address transportation issues in Bremerton and ensure Bremerton’s growth will not impede Naval Base Kitsap – Bremerton (NBK-BR) missions which are critical to our Nation’s military readiness.
$675,000 in Department of Defense funds and $75,000 of City funds have been committed to the project. The $750,000 will be utilized to conduct a commuter transportation study that will:
Examine existing and future need related to all transportation modes serving NBK-Bremerton, including parking, pedestrian facilities, transit facilities; etc.,
Develop solutions to resolve deficits,
Evaluate options to mitigate transportation and parking demands,
and, develop a prioritized implementation plan.
