Dear Commissioner Tarleton: 
Congratulations! The Puget Sound Regional Council has approved $5,080,785 in federal funding for the
following projects: 
Puget Sound Regional Clean Truck Program 
Seattle Industrial Areas Freight Access Project 
The PSRC Executive Board voted in October to approve a total of $450 million for priority projects that
will improve local and regional mobility. The projects are helping to achieve our long-range regional
transportation plan, Transportation 2040. Final approval by the Governor and federal funding agencies is
expected in early 2013. 
Securing federal transportation funding for communities in the region is one of the key roles of the Puget
Sound Regional Council. These projects were selected on their merits and support the region's economic
development and growth. 
Thanks to your leadership and excellent work by your staff, our region is advancing a better system that
gets people and goods where they need to go, provides transportation choices, and helps grow jobs in the
region. 
At PSRC we are deeply committed to the future of this region, and we look forward to continuing to
partner with you to find transportation, economic development and land use solutions that work locally
and regionally. 
Warm regards, 


Bob Drewel 
Executive Director
