County Road Department seeks public input on Transportation Safety Action Plan

The Deschutes County Road Department is actively seeking community input to enhance transportation safety on rural county roadways. As the department works to update its 2019 Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP), it is hosting a virtual open house where community members can provide their feedback and insights.  

Deschutes County has a goal of zero fatal or serious injury crashes on county roadways. The TSAP is a planning document that helps the Road Department achieve this goal by identifying safety issues and opportunities for location-specific and systemic safety improvements to the county road system. The TSAP update focuses on county roads located in the unincorporated, rural areas outside of the cities of Bend, LaPine, Redmond, and Sisters.

Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers are all encouraged to participate in the virtual open house and provide their feedback. To participate in the virtual open house and share your feedback, please visit the TSAP website beginning Tuesday, May 27 through Wednesday, June 9.
