Board notes HB 3991 referendum risk, schedules TSAP public check-ins

Bend MPO Policy Board · November 26, 2025

Summary

Board members said a signature-gathering effort on HB 3991 could pause previously approved funding until November 2026; staff reported the Transportation Safety Action Plan public process will begin in January and asked for council check-ins in 2026.

During other business the board discussed external risks and plan timelines. Councilor Ariel Mendez said signature-gathering around HB 3991 may have collected enough signatures to force a referendum that would pause approved funding programs until November 2026. MPO staff did not dispute the observation and noted it could affect maintenance and transit funding timelines.

City and MPO staff also reported that the Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) public process will kick off in January and that staff will seek at least two city council check-ins in 2026; staff requested help from council members on scheduling.
