Last night was an impactful night for transportation in Tacoma! City Council passed Transportation Impact Fees, which are one-time charges new developments pay to help fund a portion of the costs of new infrastructure needed to support new growth. These fees will help fund resources that all ...Tacomans use - things like roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, and trails.

Last night - Tacoma City Council passed a code update allowing for expansion of the City's automated enforcement program. Automated enforcement is an important tool in advancing the City’s Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes by 2035. While redesigning roadways ...for lower speeds and safer conditions remains one of the most effective long-term solutions, automated enforcement provides a more immediate way to improve safety. Research shows this technology reduces average travel speeds, lowers crash rates, and encourages safer driving behaviors at locations where cameras are installed.
