Oregon Transportation Options Plan Statewide TO Meeting September 27, 2013

Initiating a Transportation Options Plan

Some Transportation Option Benefits Help to maximize system efficiencies Support community goals Reduce or help to defer transportation costs Reduce congestion Provide options and choices for travel 3 Why Care about TO?

Initiating a TO Plan Why Develop a Statewide TO Plan? TO is intrinsic to the implementation of the Oregon Transportation Plan and the success of Intermodal Oregon There is no formal statewide vision for TO that guides TO in the state TO strategies are not always considered as solutions There is no formal, interconnected statewide TO “program” that guides TO in the state There is no policy framework substantiating the investments we are making now There is likely to be heavier reliance on TO solutions in the future

Initiating a TO Plan What Will the Plan Look Like? Topic Plan –Further refine the OTP –Adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission –On par with policy direction for other modes and programs –Establish vision and policy guidance that integrates TO in local, regional and state planning, programming and investments
