Overview
The transportation system is essential to the functioning of the city and the well-being and prosperity of the community. It connects people and businesses to goods and services, and links them to the region, state, nation, and world. Although transportation is often measured in terms of mobility, it also creates access to opportunity. The way we build our city has an impact on our mobility and, by extension, our access to opportunity. What is access to opportunity? It’s being able to get to childcare, reach your healthcare, get to school and higher education, perhaps one’s spiritual or religious pursuits, economic opportunity (your job), maybe civic engagement, recreation, and more. Our mobility impacts our opportunities in life in a truly fundamental way. Our city’s goals and policies also reflect the role of transportation planning in reducing carbon emissions and improving public health. And there’s a role that streets can play in providing great civic and recreational spaces.
With robust and equitable community engagement and technical analysis, the City of Portland’s TSP update process will help answer the questions:
- What do we want?
- What do we have now?
- What will we need in the future?
- How will we fund our projects?
- What should we do first?
