Benton County : Transportation system plan

Abstract

The TPR [State of Oregon Transportation Planning Rule] not only stipulates that modal plans be developed for roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, public transit, air, rail, and pipelines, but also provides the blueprint for how the analysis should be approached. It suggests the following sequence for the analysis of each mode: Inventory of the existing system; Performance evaluation of the existing system; Identification and consideration of mitigation measures; Establishment of current needs; Forecast of future (20-year) travel demand; Performance evaluation of the future system; Identification of alternative mitigation; Selection of a preferred improvement plan; Consideration of the financial feasibility. Therefore, the Benton County TSP follows this sequence for each of the modal plans contained in Chapters 3 through 6. [From the Plan]
