City of Richland Invites Community Input on Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Systems Plan Update

​The City of Richland invites Tri-Cities residents, business owners, and community members to share their input through an online survey as part of ongoing updates to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Systems Plan.
 
The survey opens today, March 2 through April 6, 2026, and is available online at richlandwa.gov/CompPlan.
 
Together, the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan and the Transportation Systems Plan evaluate existing conditions and establish a 20-year framework for local infrastructure policy, planning, and investment through the year 2046. Community feedback is a critical part of shaping how Richland plans for growth, mobility, and quality of life.
 
“We want to hear directly from our community,” said Planning Manager, Mike Stevens. “This feedback will help us better understand residents’ priorities, concerns, and daily transportation experiences as we plan for Richland’s future.”
 
The survey includes two components:

• An anonymous survey covering a range of transportation topics, including funding priorities and individual travel habits
• A Pin Map Exercise, which allows participants to leave comments, concerns, or suggestions for specific locations within the City of Richland, such as intersections, corridors, or neighborhoods

 
Community members are encouraged to participate by scanning the QR code featured on outreach materials or by visiting richlandwa.gov/CompPlan. Responses must be submitted by April 6, 2026.
