News Release

Tualatin Announces Continuation Of Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program - 09/20/24

Tualatin, OR – 

Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program

Safety is paramount for everyone—whether walking, driving, or cycling.  To enhance the safety and accessibility of Tualatin's roads, the City is excited to announce the launch of this year’s Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program! This community-driven program aims to address transportation concerns identified by residents and implement practical improvements based on their suggestions.

The Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program (NTSP) focuses on carrying out new safety enhancements that reflect the unique needs and perspectives of Tualatin’s residents. Proposed projects could include improved signage, crosswalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, upgraded bike lanes, and enhancements to challenging roadways or pathways. By incorporating community input, the program can identify and address issues that may otherwise go unnoticed, fostering a safer and more inclusive environment for all.

The program’s projects are evaluated and selected based on the following guiding principles: equity, safety, feasibility and impact. As this is a suggestion-based program, residents are encouraged to submit their project ideas via the City’s website. Projects are then evaluated based on the guiding principles. Once a project is selected based on the criteria, those that can be funded are chosen for implementation.

Funding for the program is through Tualatin’s share of the statewide Gas Tax, allocated from the City’s Road Operating Fund. The deadline for submissions this year is November 1, with anticipated start date for the project by summer. 

The Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program represents a significant step towards making Tualatin’s transportation infrastructure safer and more accessible. The City invites all residents to participate by submitting their project ideas and contributing to the improvement of our community’s roads and pathways. The deadline for submissions this year is November 1st, with construction anticipated in summer 2025.
