Tualatin residents have until Sunday, Nov. 1, to pitch road safety projects they want built in their neighborhoods, with selected improvements potentially breaking ground by summer 2027.

The city opened the latest cycle of its Neighborhood Transportation Safety Program (NTSP) on Tuesday, Sept. 1, according to a city announcement. Residents can submit ideas through an online survey on the city's website.

The program funds infrastructure projects suggested by residents. Eligible projects include new crosswalks, better signage, ADA-compliant curb ramps, enhanced bike lanes and fixes to problem spots on roads and pathways, according to the city's NTSP program page.

How it works

Submissions go through a three-step process. The city collects ideas this fall, evaluates them over the winter based on four criteria (safety, equity, feasibility and impact), then designs and builds as many as the budget allows by summer.

The NTSP is funded through Tualatin's share of the statewide gas tax, channeled through the city's Road Operating Fund. The most recent published budget figure is $150,000 for fiscal year 2025-2026, though the city has not confirmed whether the same amount applies to this cycle.

The city's announcement asked residents to flag tricky crossings, missing signage, hard-to-navigate sidewalk ramps and other transportation problems in their neighborhoods.

Not the first round

This is not a new program.

The city ran a prior NTSP cycle in fall 2025, with a Sept. 30 deadline that year, according to its announcement at the time. The current cycle gives residents about a month longer to submit ideas. The city said the program had delivered results from that round, though details on which projects were completed were not available.

How to submit

Residents can submit ideas online at the city's NTSP page. Questions can go to Abby McFetridge, engineering associate, at 503-691-3020 or [email protected].
