The current state of TV Highway is not safe for pedestrians and transit users. This project will include improvements such as the addition of sidewalks and bus shelters.

Travel time on TriMet's Line 57 is nearly double that of auto travel time. The TV Highway project seeks to address this.

Oregon Highway 8, better known as the Tualatin Valley Highway, or TV Highway, is a vital transportation connector in Washington County that serves regional and town centers in Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, Cornelius and Forest Grove.

Supported by a Federal Transit Administration HOPE (Helping Obtain Prosperity for Everyone) grant, this project will complete planning and design for public transit improvements on the TV Highway. Plans will build upon the bus rapid transit component of the TV Highway project proposed in the 2020 Get Moving transportation funding measure.

It will also support the creation of a community-led equitable development strategy to counteract gentrification, as recommended in the measure. With the participation of the community along this corridor and organizations who represent them, the equitable development strategy seeks to increase meaningful involvement in transportation planning and identify ways to support community during transportation investments.
