At the City of Hillsboro, we want everyone who travels within or through our community to reach their destination safely.

City of Hillsboro Public Works Department staff work towards this goal by:   

  • Completing traffic studies and counts 
  • Maintaining our transportation system, including signs, signals, pavement markings, and street lights 
  • Researching community safety concerns and traffic calming requests 
  • Educating the community about transportation safety 

Visit our Street and Road Maintenance webpage to learn more about how the City maintains our transportation system.   

Find more information about how we work with the community to improve transportation safety on the pages below, or contact us to report a transportation safety concern.
