The Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan, or TSAP, works in conjunction with the state’s overall guiding plan, the Oregon Transportation Plan, last updated in 2006. The TSAP establishes goals, strategies and initiatives that address the core transportation safety challenges and opportunities facing Oregon. It was last updated in 2010, and you can view it online.

Each meeting will include:

  • An outline of the transportation safety planning process.
  • An overview of transportation safety-related data, including statewide data and data specific to the area where the meeting is held.
  • A discussion of statewide and local safety challenges and opportunities.

 

Anyone interested in providing input but cannot attend the meeting is encouraged to contact Walt McAllister, (503) 986-4187 or email walter.j.mcallister@odot.state.or.us.
