Transportation System Plan: 2023-25 Update
Transportation System Plan Adoption Process!
Over the past several months, the City has been working to bring together all of the information, feedback, and analysis compiled during the two-year Transportation System Plan (TSP) update process into a single, cohesive final document. That draft Transportation System Plan is now complete and moving into the public hearing phase.
The first public hearing is scheduled with the Planning Commission on January 27, 2026, and additional hearings will follow as the City considers adoption of the plan. We encourage community members to review the draft TSP (linked below), provide public comments (send to dyarr@milwaukieoregon.gov), and/or attend a hearing (land use application #CPA-2025-001) to share support for adoption.
This project would not have been possible without the dedication of both the Transportation System Plan Advisory Committee and the Transportation System Plan Technical Advisory Committee. We extend our sincere thanks to committee members for the countless hours they spent attending meetings, reviewing materials, and providing thoughtful, invaluable input on draft materials throughout the process.

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
We want your input on a list of proposed transportation projects developed as part of Milwaukie’s Transportation System Plan update. These projects aim to address key gaps in our network and improve access to important destinations across the city. After reviewing the project list, you’ll be asked to share what types of improvements matter most to you—and which specific projects you think should be prioritized. Your feedback will help guide future transportation investments in Milwaukie.

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
We want to hear what you think about the draft goals and policies for the Transportation System Plan (TSP) update!
- Goals – Goals are broad statements that identify how the vision statement will be achieved.
- Policies – Specific and measurable statements that help to achieve the goal.
You might be asking how the City got to this draft. We didn’t start from scratch! Lots of other planning documents were reviewed as a starting point, including:
- City of Milwaukie’s
- Metro’s Regional Transportation System Plan
- Oregon’s Transportation Planning Rule
The Survey
We shared an earlier draft of these goals and policies with both the TSP Advisory and Technical Committees to get their feedback, which has been incorporated into what you see today. Now we’re sharing the draft goals and policies with you to get your feedback.
How will these goals and policies be used moving forward? They’ll be used to evaluate potential projects for inclusion in the TSP and ultimately in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
There are 11 goals with numbers policies under each goal. We need to know:- Did we get them right?
- Are specific revisions needed?
- Are we missing something?
You can provide as little or as much feedback as your time allows. If commenting on a specific policy, please include the policy number with your comment. Thanks so much for your time. Your voice matters!(Survey Closes 4/17/24 at 5:00 PM)
