Purpose and Uses of the TSP
Information Found within the TSP
- Inventories of existing conditions—sidewalks, bike lanes, transit stops, posted speeds, intersection controls, traffic volumes, funding sources
- Forecasts of future traffic volumes
- Projections of available revenue for transportation projects
- The City's goals and policies for improving the transportation system
- Lists of needs (projects) for improving each mode of the system
How the TSP is Used
The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the City's guiding document for making transportation improvements in Milwaukie. The TSP has a number of uses:
- Outlines the important transportation needs to be addressed over the next 20-plus years
- City Council uses it to select transportation projects to be included within the Capital Improvement Plan
- Enables the City to move quickly when grant funding opportunities arise (presents all identified needs in one place and with some sense of priority)
- When development triggers a requirement for street improvements, shows what needs to be built to implement the City's transportation vision
How TSP Projects are Funded
The TSP project lists include an "order of magnitude" estimate of the cost for each project.
- Unfinished projects from the 2007 list have an approximate total cost of $185.2 million (in 2007 dollars)
- Highest priority projects from the 2007 list have an approximate total cost of $5.6 million
- Current projections of annual revenue committed exclusively to capital improvement projects = average of only $100,000/year (1 or 2 other revenue streams can be used for either capital or maintenance projects)
- The City is in a position of having to use its limited funds as a match for federal, state, and regional grants, in order to leverage the money needed to construct large projects.
Note: Some specific grant funding opportunities may favor projects that are not necessarily among the City's topmost priorities but that are still important for improving the overall system. There is a challenge to balance project priorities with funding opportunities that arise. Some flexibility is needed to take advantage of these opportunities.
