TransPlan: The Eugene-Springfield Transportation System Plan

Abstract

The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) guides regional transportation system planning and development in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. TransPlan includes provisions for meeting the transportation demand of residents over a 20-year planning horizon while addressing transportation issues and making changes that can contribute to improvements in the region’s quality of life and economic vitality. There is a great deal of flexibility in choosing how the region’s transportation demand is met via supply decisions and demand management strategies. With the balanced and integrated combination of land use, transit, demand management, and bicycle strategies included in TransPlan, significant progress can be made away from the trends. TransPlan establishes the framework upon which all public agencies can make consistent an coordinated planning decisions regarding inter- and intrajurisdictional transportation. The regional planning process ensures that the planning activities and investments of the local jurisdictions are coordinated in terms of intent, timing, and effect.
