Share your thoughts about transportation safety

Learn about the Washington County Transportation Safety Action Plan and share your thoughts via an online open house through June 15.


Washington County Land Use & Transportation is updating the County's Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) with other departments and agencies and in coordination with Metro and other regional partners through a federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant.


A TSAP is a strategic plan that will help guide Washington County's investment in improving safety on County roads, streets and trails. 


The TSAP will include:

  • A review of the County's current transportation safety policies and processes
  • Goals and targets related to reducing and/or eliminating fatal and severe crashes
  • Safety policies, strategies and actions that will help make the County's transportation system safer for everyone, especially our most vulnerable road users
  • Methods for tracking progress towards safety.


Learn more about Washington County’s TSAP update and share your comments via the online open house through June 15.

Open Houses

Microtransit open house

Tell us what you think about the Microtransit Pilot Project in an online open house through May 30. 


In early 2026, riders in South Cooper Mountain, River Terrace and Progress Ridge areas will be able to use an app, website or phone call to schedule a microtransit shared-ride that picks up and drops off riders where they choose. 


The survey asks questions to help us decide the boundaries of the service area and the best hours of operation for this innovative public transportation service. 

Comment on the draft Planning Work Program 2025-27 in an online open house through 5 p.m. May 30. 


The Planning Work Program identifies tasks for our Development Review/Current Planning, Transportation Planning and Community Planning staff. It describes planning projects, potential land use ordinance and other activities for a two-year period. 


All comments received by 5 p.m. May 30 will be provided to the Washington County Board of Commissioners prior to adoption of the final work program.  

See the improvements we’re considering on Farmington Road and provide input on proposed design options during an online open house through June 2.


We have developed initial concepts and refined them based on community and project partner feedback. The online open house has updates about several key decisions, opportunities to share feedback on potential bicycle and pedestrian facilities and more.
