What is an RTP?
Lane Council of Governments, which is the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (CLMPO), is the lead agency responsible for regional transportation planning and distribution of federal transportation dollars for the Central Lane County area. The CLMPO works cooperatively with community members, local governments, and transit providers to set regional priorities for transportation needs.
Every four years, the CLMPO creates a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a long-range plan that serves as a blue-print for the region’s long-term transportation projects. The RTP outlines how the region plans to invest in transportation projects and programs in our area. State and federal funding sources require an established plan be in place that identifies transportation needs and proposed investments. This planning effort will fulfill these requirements for the 2020-2045 planning period.
The RTP will guide transportation investments in Eugene, Springfield, and Coburg and build on previous efforts by local partners — including the cities of Eugene and Springfield, along with Coburg and Lane County. It will outline how to proceed with projects and programs that local partners already identified through previous planning activities. These projects and programs include multimodal travel options, climate recovery measures, job growth, environmental stewardship, and social equity.
Where will it apply?
The RTP will apply within the Central Lane MPO boundary, which covers the area within the urban growth boundaries of Eugene, Springfield, and Coburg, and a small area of Lane County adjacent to these urban areas (see map).
What will it accomplish?
- Outline transportation needs, goals, priorities, and opportunities that the community, especially vulnerable and low-income populations, identifies.
- Identify how to increase access to housing and jobs through improved transportation.
- Consider and integrate transportation options and technologies.
- Support climate recovery and reduce transportation-related pollution.
Why do we need your input?
We expect the population in the region to grow by 52,000 people over the next 25 years, requiring expanded transportation options that will serve the community’s changing needs. We need your input to better understand the community’s transportation needs now and into the future so that we can create a transportation system that works for everyone.
How do you travel to work, school, and to run errands? How would you like to travel? What is challenging about our current transportation system (i.e., roads, public transit, bike and walking trails, etc.)?
By participating in this online open house and providing feedback on questions like these, you can help us shape the future transportation system in Eugene, Springfield, and Coburg.
