Each year, the City of Vancouver prepares a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This document includes detailed descriptions of all transportation projects planned in the city for the next six years. These projects include traffic signals, bike lanes, crosswalks and sidewalk improvements that will make it safer for all people to get around Vancouver. The TIP includes detailed information and the funding status for each project. It also helps explain how transportation projects are paid for using local taxes and money from state and federal programs.
Community Priorities
When it comes to transportation improvements, every project is important. We all want safer streets and to make it easier for people to get around Vancouver. The TIP helps the City decide which projects to complete first. To do this, the TIP uses priorities and principles identified by the community. Projects are selected and scored using the eight priorities to the right.
These priorities have been updated for 2022 to include feedback from the City’s Transportation and Mobility Commission and to better align with Vancouver’s comprehensive plan, financial policies and strategic goals.

Transportation priorities for 2022 have been updated to reflect what we’ve heard from community members. Projects are selected and scored using eight priorities:
Safety: Will the project improve safety for people who drive, walk, ride a bike or take transit?
Social equity: Will the project promote fairness or access?
Active transportation: Will the project support walking or riding a bike?
Climate/environment: Will the project align with the city’s climate goals?
Care for existing assets: Will the project repair or replace existing streets, sidewalks or signals?
Traffic management: Will the project help reduce traffic?
Economic development: Will the project support Vancouver’s local economy?
State law (RCW 35.77.010) requires the City of Vancouver to prepare a TIP each year to help implement the city’s comprehensive growth management plan. The Vancouver City Council votes on whether to approve the TIP before July 1 of each year. As part of this process, the TIP team conducts outreach through online and in-person engagement, including presentations made to community groups, the City’s Transportation and Mobility Commission, the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Alliance and the City Council. We welcome any suggestions you have for how we can improve our outreach going forward.
Projects included in Vancouver’s TIP reflect guiding principles and polices developed as part of Vancouver Moves, the City’s Transportation System Plan (TSP). Together, these documents help shape how Vancouver responds to the transportation needs of our growing community.
The TSP is an in-depth planning process that explores our city’s transportation needs in partnership with Vancouver residents, employees and visitors. The TSP examines existing travel conditions for all users of the city's transportation system, including those who drive, walk, bicycle, ride transit, use mobility devices or deliver freight. The TSP process also asks Vancouver residents about their transportation priorities, with a focus on communities that have been historically under-served by transportation spending.

The City of Vancouver employs a sustainable, long-term solution to help provide the needed resources for taking care of the streets in our community. Funding efforts through the Street Funding Strategy are being put to work each year to improve pavement conditions; support neighborhood traffic calming; increase mobility, accessibility and safety; improve signals; and provide the local match needed to get grants for transportation projects.
