The purpose of The Dalles Traffic Safety Commission is:

• To coordinate traffic planning.
• To conduct traffic surveys, studies and investigations.
• To prepare and publish traffic reports as requested.
• To prepare and recommend proposals for improving traffic conditions.
• To hold public hearings relating to traffic control problems, proposals and solutions.
• The Planning Commission or City Council may refer matters to the Traffic and Safety Commission for their review and input.
