| This report summarizes the plans and policies that are relevant to the City of Portland Transportation System Plan (TSP) update. For each plan, the memorandum provides a summary, describes key aspects that influence Portland's transportation planning efforts, and describes how it will influence the Portland TSP update process. Because of the intentional integration of previous planning efforts into the most recent 2019 Portland TSP update, this review focuses on those plans formally adopted post-2018 Portland TSP adoption. | |
| The 2045 Transportation System Plan (TSP) Scope of Work outlines how the City will update Portland's long-range transportation plan to guide investments and policies through the year 2045. It describes the goals, timeline, and major tasks for the update. | |
| The 2045 Transportation System Plan Engagement Plan describes how the City will involve the public and partners in shaping the updated plan. It outlines strategies to reach a broad and representative range of Portlanders, with an emphasis on inclusive, equitable, and accessible engagement. The plan explains when and how people can participate, how feedback will be gathered and shared, and how community input will inform decisions throughout the 2045 TSP update. | |
| Foundational research into existing transportation-related disparities examining the present state of disparities in Portland's transportation system. Assessing, documenting, acknowledging, and addressing where current and past land use, transportation, and housing policies and effects of climate change, as well as racism in those systems, have harmed or are likely to harm underserved populations | |
| A list and summary of TSP Major Capital Projects completed by PBOT in the last 10 years. A step of the 2045 TSP update process. | |
| A draft summary of key interest themes identified through the Community Advisory Committee's "Community Advisory Wishes" activity. At their July 24, 2025 meeting, CAC members used an Appreciative Inquiry process to share three wishes each for the future of Portland's transportation system as part of the 2045 TSP update. | |
| An early draft of the 2045 TSP Vision, Goals, and Objectives for the 2045 Transportation System Plan, prepared for presentation, feedback, and discussion with the Community Advisory Committee. | |
| The fifth meeting of the 2045 TSP Community Advisory Committee (CAC) included a policy-focused open house-style workshop and a large "Policy Workbook" for gathering CAC feedback on draft 2045 TSP content, including opportunities to provide feedback to further iteratively refine the vision, goals, and objectives for the future of Portland's transportation system. This memo summarizes what we heard from the CAC and what changed for the working version now in use for the TSP update. | |
| As part of the 2045 TSP update, the Portland Bureau of Transportation is refining the definition and application of Key Destinations to better guide system planning and project prioritization. Key Destinations are defined as destinations determined locally that are expected to attract a higher-than-average rate of pedestrian, bicycle, or transit trips. | |
| This memo summarizes feedback received from advisory committees, modal committees, and district coalitions on the 2045 TSP candidate pool. The feedback focused on identifying missing projects or transportation needs, confirming existing projects, and ensuring project descriptions reflect current conditions and priorities. This early input will help inform the project evaluation process and the development of the constrained list of major capital projects. | |
| As a companion piece to the 2045 Transportation System Plan, PBOT developed an accompanying document and an upcoming video exploring the racist history of transportation planning and provision in Portland. Featured as a key part of the Plan's major equity analysis, understanding this history is vital in ensuring that informed transportation and land use decisions avoid perpetuating harms to underserved populations and continue the meaningful pursuit toward transportation justice.

| This report outlines the processes, public involvement, and initial outcomes of developing the the 2045 Transportation System Plan's Vision, Goals, and Objectives. The report synthesizes what community members value most for Portland's transportation future, drawing from 3,000 wishes gathered through surveys, letters, advisory body input, and in-person outreach. | |
| This Funding Review provides a snapshot of existing revenue and expenditures as well as a preliminary estimate of future funding available to implement Major Capital Projects included in the TSP. This snapshot must be consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan's financial strategy and conform to the requirements of OAR 660-012-0115. The Funding Review also provides a conceptual "minimum financial threshold" for a TSP's constrained Major Capital Project List. The final financial threshold is determined through development of the Financial Strategy in a subsequent stage of the 2045 TSP work scope. | |
| A memorandum to City Council outlining the development of the 2045 Transportation System Plan (TSP) Vision, Goals, and Objectives as of May 26, 2026. This memo summarizes why the TSP is being updated, where we are in the process, what role the vision, goals, and objectives play, and the upcoming timeline including planned Council touchpoints. | |
| This memo explains the development of the financially constrained Major Capital Projects list including the project prioritization process for the 2045 TSP and requests Council review and feedback on the draft evaluation criteria, which help shape Portland's next 20 years of capital investment in the transportation system. | |
| The Existing Conditions analysis identifies transportation system gaps (missing connections or facilities) and deficiencies (existing facilities that do not adequately meet needs), which together define the system's current transportation needs. These needs are determined by comparing Portland's Planned System with a multimodal inventory of existing facilities and conditions. The Future Conditions analysis adds additional needs based on projected land use, travel demand, and system performance standards through 2045. Together, the existing and future needs create the foundation for developing and evaluating transportation solutions, ultimately leading to the 2045 TSP Major Capital Projects List. | |
| Appendix and figures for the Existing and Future Conditions Report. | |
| This chapter of the 2045 Transportation System Plan outlines Portland's strategy for expanding transportation options and reducing reliance on driving alone. It highlights existing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs, services, and policies that make walking, biking, rolling, and transit safer, more convenient, and more affordable, while identifying future opportunities to improve mobility, equity, and climate outcomes. | |
| The Way to Go Plan, adopted by City Council in 2022, forms the foundation of meeting the new Transportation Options requirements in the State's Transportation Planning Rules. |
