Washington County Coordinating Committee (WCCC) - May 18th, 2026

The Washington County Coordinating Committee (WCCC) met on May 18, 2026, to discuss several transportation-related procurement and funding matters. Key agenda items included approval of amendments to the Transportation Development Tax (TDT) project list, which increased project costs by approximately $44.34 million, and approval of specific TDT expenditure requests totaling several million dollars for bridge and trail projects. The committee also approved a $6 million MSTIP Large Project Match fund expenditure request for design work on a corridor and bridge replacement project, as well as MSTIP Opportunity Fund expenditure requests totaling over $3 million to support grant applications for mobility and trail projects in Tigard and Washington County. Additionally, TriMet provided an update on the TV Highway Transit and Safety Project, a $304 million bus rapid transit corridor with a current $56 million funding gap. Discussions highlighted challenges in securing federal and state funding, potential value engineering to reduce costs, and the importance of coordinated legislative advocacy among local jurisdictions. The meeting also covered regional transit service coordination, funding challenges for community connectors, and updates from various regional transportation committees. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several funding approvals and project list amendments were passed unanimously, reflecting ongoing capital improvement and transit infrastructure planning efforts in Washington County.
