The City of Tacoma is currently considering bringing a package to voters to fund residential street repairs, arterial improvements, and safety ...upgrades throughout the City. Connect Tacoma will replace the $325 million voter-approved Tacoma Streets Initiative, which ran from 2015-2025. This is your chance to share ideas, voice concerns, and discuss how the city should prioritize its future investments.
When we slow down, we make space for kids to walk to school, for neighbors to bike to work, and for everyone to feel safe getting around.
In 2023, Tacoma lowered the speed limit on all residential (non-arterial) streets from 25mph to 20mph because even a small reduction in speed makes a ...big difference in preventing crashes and protecting lives.
Be the driver who drives 20mph.
