Improvement Fund (STIF) to improve and/or expand public transportation service in <br />Oregon. ii <br />Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization — 2040 Regional Transportation Plan <br />The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) includes the jurisdictions of the Lane Council of <br />Governments (LCOG), the cities of Eugene, Springfield, and Coburg, Lane County and <br />Lane Transit District (LTD). Adopted in 2017, the plan establishes the framework upon <br />which the region's public agencies can make consistent and coordinated planning decisions <br />over the next 20 years (planning horizon 2040) through a process that ensures planning <br />activities and investments are coordinated in terms of intent, timing, and effect. The RTP <br />policy framework and implementation actions are structured around three fundamental <br />components of transportation planning: land use, transportation demand management, <br />and transportation systems improvements. Goal 1 of the RTP is to "integrate transportation <br />and land use to support transportation choices, promote all modes of transportation, <br />reduce our reliance on any single mode of travel, and enhance community livability. <br />City of Eugene — 2035 Transportation System Plan <br />The City of Eugene's 2035 Transportation System Plan establishes a system of <br />transportation facilities and services that will serve the needs of Eugene residents, <br />businesses, and visitors over the next 20 years.' The five main goals of the 2035 <br />Transportation System Plan are to: (1 ) create an integrated system that is safe and <br />efficient and reduces fossil fuel usage by 50 percent, (2) advance regional sustainability <br />by reducing fossil fuel reliance, (3) reduce reliance on any single mode, (4) address the <br />needs and safety of all travelers, and (5) triple the percentage of trips made on foot, by <br />bicycle, and by transit by 2035 from 2014 levels. <br />Oregon Statewide Planning and Local and Regional Comprehensive Plans <br />At the state level, Oregon Statewide Planning Goals, related statutes and administrative <br />rules provide a framework for all local land use planning. At the regional and local level, <br />the two applicable comprehensive plans are the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan and <br />the Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). New land use <br />plans, such as the River Road -Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan, must be consistent with <br />applicable provisions in both the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan and the Metro Plan. <br />The Metro Plan is the basic guiding land use policy document for regional land use <br />planning and applies to the Cities of Eugene and Springfield and areas of Lane County <br />within the Metro Plan boundary.`i In 2017, Eugene completed the first phase of adopting <br />the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan, which replaces regional policies in the Metro <br />Plan with new policies that are specific to Eugene." Until the next phase is completed, <br />Eugene will continue to use the Metro Plan policies related to the remaining elements. <br />RIVER ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />.• <br />
