EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Annual Report on Transportation shows City progress towards its goals, as well as priority actions for the coming year. The Transportation Commission endorsed the Transportation 2024 Annual Report & 2025 Work Plan on February 26, 2025, and the City Council accepted it on April 1, 2025. The Annual Report is available here:

The Transportation Commission bylaws state that, “Generally, the Commission shall advise the City Council on City transportation plans, policies, programs, and capital projects, and shall monitor implementation via staff reports on a regular basis, but no less frequently than twice per year.”
This Status Report on Transportation (Exhibit 1) includes work completed from January-August as part of the 2025 Transportation Work Plan. This work is implemented by just under 9 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff members from Public Works and Planning, Building, and Transportation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Status Report provides updates on ongoing projects; on its own it has no financial impact.
