The Washington County Transit Development Plan (TDP) guides future transit investments and communicates a coordination vision for transit service and access to public transportation. As a Public Transportation Service Provider under the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) Program, the County updates the TDP every two years, funding projects and programs for the next two years and identifying priorities for the next five years.
We are updating the TDP for Fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 and have concluded our pubic survey taking input on potential funding priorities.
Our plan, updated and adopted in 2022, meets the Oregon Department of Transportation Statewide Transportation Improvement Funds (STIF) eligibility requirements.
