The City of Tigard is kicking off its Safe Streets Action Plan, a process that will guide the City's actions and investments to improve safety for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving. This planning process relies on the input of community members (like you!) as the City develops strategies to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries in an equitable, climate-friendly, and accessible way for everyone.
