It’s time to update the Regional Transportation Plan. This plan is the blueprint that guides investments for all forms of travel – driving, transit, biking and walking – and the movement of goods and services throughout greater Portland. It identifies urgent and long-term transportation needs, investments to meet those needs, and the funds the region expects to have available over the next 20 years.

The plan is updated every five years with input from community members, business and community leaders and governments. The scoping phase of the plan started in October 2021. The update must be completed by Dec. 6, 2023. There are several opportunities to provide input before the 2023 plan is adopted by the Metro Council.

Investing in our transportation system is about investing in people. It's about connecting people with their families and friends. It’s about getting people to schools, jobs, parks and other important places. Updating the Regional Transportation Plan is an opportunity to work together for a future when no matter where you live or where you’re going, you can have safe, reliable and affordable options to get there.
