Transportation in Umatilla County is about to get safer and more efficient thanks to two new plans: an updated Transportation System Plan (TSP) and a new Safe Streets and Roads for All Plan (SS4A). These plans, shaped by community input, will improve how people get around the county, whether they're driving, walking, biking, or taking transit. The county's main goal is to make roads safer. By improving roads and transportation systems, these plans will create a better future for everyone who travels through Umatilla County.
Goals
To ensure the County has a transportation system that works for everyone, the plans will:
- Make getting around the County easier and safer by understanding what leads to crashes and identifying solutions to prevent them.
- Support significant freight and agricultural transportation needs by helping businesses move agricultural products from farm to market, supporting local industries, and connecting residents to essential services.
- Improve roadways by adding things they’re missing like shoulders for farm equipment, stronger bridges, and safe paths for walking and riding.
- Ensure transportation access for all by improving options for people with less access to transportation services, people living with disabilities, people with limited English proficiency, youth, and older folks.
- Help local agencies better prepare for roadway closures in response to wildfires, flooding, ice, and other unexpected events.
