Public comment sought on the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan
The public is asked complete Metro's 2018 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) survey to help define how the greater Portland region's transportation system should look in 2040.
The 2018 RTP provides Metro an opportunity to update the investments the region will make in roads, sidewalks, bikeways, transit and freight routes to support communities today and in the future. This update is an opportunity to define the creation of a safe, reliable, healthy and affordable transportation system for the next 25 years.
The survey closes Feb. 17. Learn more about the 2018 RTP.  Survey
