Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide recommendations to the cities of Cottage Grove and Creswell based on the current and future transportation needs as informed by professional insight and community input. The first half of the report analyzes results from interviews taken from professionals in the area as well as the results from an online survey given to residents of the communities.
Current and future identified needs focused on the following themes:
• The perceptions of Route 98 and how that perception varied between LTD, professional insight, community input, and data analysis.
• Physical connectedness of the transportation systems in Cottage Grove and Creswell and barriers that might hinder transportation such as bus stop infrastructure.
• Programmatic connectedness between transportation systems in Cottage Grove and Creswell and how accessible they are to the communities they serve.
• Various technology and financial availabilities of the communities and how they shape the transportation options that can be considered for Cottage Grove and Creswell.
The second half of the report discusses new transportation mode options that could be used to address the transportation needs in Creswell and Cottage Grove. Modes such
as bike share, paratransit, ride hail partnerships, and mobility on demand (MOD) (including analysis on Cottage Grove’s pilot MOD project) were considered. The various case studies on these modes can be found in the appendix.
Between identifying some of the various needs that these two small cities have, students made recommendations for the cities’ current transportation networks as well as some
suggestions for what to consider when looking at new modes and how the cities’ needs. Students made several recommendations to help address the current and future needs of these two communities.
