Gresham staff propose TSP update focused on equity, Vision Zero and climate goals
Summary
City staff presented a midterm Transportation System Plan update that proposes new equity criteria, a Vision Zero safety goal and climate-oriented policies; the update centers community safety feedback and schedules a draft plan for spring 2025.
Jay Higgins, Gresham's senior transportation planner, told the council the Transportation System Plan update is a mid-cycle review of the city's 20-year plan and will revise policies, project priorities and cost estimates. "The transportation system plan is a 20 year plan for how we build out our transportation system in Gresham," Higgins said, describing the project schedule and grant-funded work.
Higgins said staff will weave equity through engagement, incorporate a Vision Zero policy to eliminate transportation fatalities and serious injuries, and adopt climate measures to reduce vehicle miles traveled per capita. The update will also study emerging technologies, including smart traffic signals and micromobility, and staff plan a prioritization results release this winter with a draft plan expected for public review in spring 2025.
