Transit Development Plan survey responses
The Washington County Transit Development Plan (TDP) Online Open House was available Aug. 2 to Sept. 6, 2024. It included possible FY 2026-27 investment priorities for transit and a survey to collect feedback. The Washington County Transit Committee considers the results of this survey when making recommendations to our Board of Commissioners on the public transportation projects and programs to be funded through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund program.
Our TDP project team met with nearly 2,000 people at festivals, farmers markets and other community events in Aloha, Banks, Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, North Plains, Tigard and Tualatin. Between these events and the online open house, 94 surveys were completed.
