Measures showing Tri-Cities US 395 and SR 240 performance
Indicators
This dashboard shows three multimodal performance indicators for US 395 and SR 240 in the Tri-Cities region:
- Annual general purpose (GP) lane person miles traveled
- Annual GP vehicle delay
- Percentage of park and ride spaces occupied.
For details on methodology to calculate person miles traveled and vehicle delay, refer to WSDOT's Handbook for Corridor Capacity Evaluation (PDF 5.9 MB).

Multi-year trends
In 2022, annual GP person miles traveled and vehicle delay continued to increase compared to 2021, due to the ongoing recovery of traffic volume in the wake of COVID-19.
In 2020, the statewide response to the COVID-19 mitigation policy, such as an increase in telework and no large gatherings of events, resulted in reduced traffic. This significantly reduced the GP person miles traveled and vehicle delay compared to previous years.
From 2018 to 2019, annual person miles and vehicle delay on US 395, SR 240 and I-182 showed mixed trends. Both values on US 395, as well as vehicle delay in SR 240 increased, while annual person miles on SR 240/I-182 did not change notably and vehicle delay on I-182 decreased.
