Salem is experiencing rapid growth. According to the U.S. Census, the City of Salem added 8.2 percent to its population between 2010 to 2016, a rate that exceeds Oregon’s overall population growth of roughly 6.8 percent for the same time period. This growth has brought increased traffic to the area.
The Salem City Council created the Congestion Relief Task Force in November 2017 to find ways to alleviate traffic congestion in the downtown project area.
