"A single preventable death is a tragedy, tens of thousands of them a year is a national crisis - one that demands not just our remembrance, but our urgent action." - U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, 2022 World Day of Remembrance
What is the TSAP?
The Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) is a document that Hillsboro relies on to assess and guide safety improvements on our roadways for all users including drivers, transit riders, bicyclists, pedestrians, and those with rolling mobility devices. The plan includes transportation safety data and proposed programs and projects to reduce crashes. The vision is to strive toward zero serious injuries and fatalities related to transportation crashes by 2035. This is an ambitious goal, but one we feel is important. We want all members of our community, and those who travel through our City to arrive at their destination safely.
Why Do We Need a Transportation Safety Action Plan?
The TSAP is required by all agencies to compete for federal funds under the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant program. The federal government has allocated $5 billion over 5 years (2022-2026) toward improving multimodal safety through the SS4A grant program; to be eligible for implementation or funding monies a jurisdiction must have a safety action plan updated more recently than 2018 that sets a target date for eliminating or greatly reducing traffic fatalities and serious injury.

2023-2024 TSAP Update
The TSAP update will build from the vision and recommendations of the 2017 TSAP, to “Strive toward zero serious injuries and deaths related to transportation crashes by 2035”. This TSAP will evaluate how the City is performing relative to Vision Zero goals, and identify measures to close the gap. Our efforts will focus on safer speeds, safer roads, safer vehicles, and safer drivers.
