Transportation System Plan Update Community Engagement Services

Description

Project Purpose The City of Beaverton (City) is conducting a major update to its Transportation System Plan (TSP). The update will define a safe, equitable, and climate-forward vision for how people, goods, and services move around Beaverton. The TSP will set transportation goals, policies, and performance metrics for the City to support city adopted land use plans and help implement broader, communitywide goals. The TSP must be consistent with Metro’s Regional Transportation Functional Plan (RTFP) and Oregon’s recently updated Transportation Planning Rules (TPR). This will ensure local, regional, and state transportation systems operate seamlessly and that Beaverton is doing its part to advance collective state and regional goals to improve people’s safety and wellbeing, reduce climate pollution, and sustain a vibrant economy. Beaverton’s current transportation system will be analyzed in relation to who the system is serving, how well it is serving them, and the shared future the community expects the transportation system to support. Transportation needs and opportunities will be identified, and an investment strategy will be created with the community. The strategy will help people and goods get to where they need to go safely, reliably, conveniently, and sustainably. It will do this while simultaneously creating a vibrant community with places that embody what the community values. An emphasis will be placed on approaching the transportation system from a holistic, people-first/safety-first perspective, with a proactive design, policy, and investment approach, to get the collective out
