Transportation SDC
Transportation System Development Charges (TSDC)
TSDC is a funding source for the public cost of constructing and expanding our transportation infrastructure, such as intersections, street lights, bridges and bicycle paths.
TSDC Project Plan
The city’s recently adopted 2035 Transportation System Plan (TSP) and the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan provide the foundation for the transportation infrastructure, goals and policies that support an economically vital, healthy and equitable community.
Location and Transit Based Incentives
Envision Eugene is a community vision for 2032 that promotes new growth along or near key corridors and core commercial areas. As part of the City’s strategies to promote compact development, certain types of development may receive an adjustment to reduce the calculated TSDC.

TSDC Incentive GIS Map
An Incentive Geographic Information System layer has been created to identify if your project is located within one of the TSDC incentive areas. Check out the Transportation SDC Incentive Map Opens a New Window. to view an interactive map showing the proposed location and transit proximity incentive areas.
- Once the map opens, you may click on a property of interest to view the potential TSDC reductions for that property.
- An additional reduction may be available if the property fronts along a Key Corridor.
