Bend Transportation – Community Survey

This short survey is about transportation issues in Bend. The City of Bend is considering making strategic investments to reduce traffic congestion and improve the safety of neighborhood streets. These improvements could require an increase in local taxes or fees. Nothing has been decided yet – there will be many opportunities to engage in community discussions in the coming months.

Traffic congestion in Bend is getting worse. We need to improve our roads now so we don’t waste even more time sitting in our cars
Because of traffic congestion on the main roads, cars are cutting through neighborhood side streets. We need to address congestion on these main roads so our neighborhood streets are quiet and safe.
Our local economy depends on businesses moving products and employees getting to work on time. Improving the roads in Bend and reducing traffic congestion is needed for a strong local economy and jobs.
The local taxes or fees would pay for pedestrian and bike networks to help residents get around town safely.
The projects would support safe travel for students to and from school.
The projects would help Bend prepare for future growth.
