TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN SURVEY

Visit the Transit Development Plan online open house and take the survey to help identify improvements to public transportation in rural Washington County and other areas not well served by bus routes. Which public transportation improvements would you like to see in the next two to five years?

Washington County, in partnership with Ride Connection Inc. is preparing a new round of public transportation priorities, continuing to meet Keep Oregon Moving (House Bill 2017) legislation requirements. Learn more 

The online open house survey asks for feedback on:

• Maintain, enhance and add first-last leg community connector services
• Rural door-to-door and workforce vanpool programs
• Better bus stop improvement program
• Better cross county transit coordination
• Expanded shuttle services to fill service gaps

The Transit Development Plan online open house survey is open through August 31 and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Learn about construction coming to Tualatin-Sherwood Road through an online construction kickoff open house through July 31.

Construction will begin this month and will be performed in six stages. Tualatin-Sherwood Road will remain open, but traffic will be flagged for daytime and nighttime lane closures throughout construction. Construction for the entire project is expected to be completed in September 2025.

Help select street projects to improve travel throughout Washington County. Visit the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) online open house to learn which projects are proposed for the 2023-2028 funding cycle.

The cost of the proposed projects is much higher than the $160 million available. Help the Washington County Board of Commissioners trim the project list to make the best use of your MSTIP dollars. Select up to three projects in each of the four Commissioner Districts. Tell Washington County which projects you think will most benefit our community! Visit the online open house through through August 12.

Help our local government better understand community need by completing the Natural Hazard Mitigation Awareness Survey.

Your local governments are working together to update our Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan to help better prepare for possible natural hazards. Complete the survey by Sept. 30.
