Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel to Hold Lane County Forum <br />The Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel is a yearlong effort to develop a series of recommendations to Governor Kate <br />Brown that address transportation issues across all transportation modes and all regions of the state. Members of the <br />Vision Panel include legislators, business owners, and civic leaders from across Oregon. Under the leadership of Gov. <br />Brown, members of the Vision Panel have been charged with the following tasks: assess the current conditions of Oregon’s <br />transportation system; develop a long-term vision for the future of Oregon’s transportation system, and create a series <br />of recommendations that can be enacted in the near-term to lay the groundwork for this vision <br /> <br />The Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel is hosting a series of 11 regional forums across the state. These two-hour <br />forums provide an opportunity to seek local input and solutions to the regional needs and priorities of Oregon’s <br />transportation system. The Lane County forum will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Ford <br />Alumni Center at the University of Oregon. <br /> <br />At the forum, Vision Panel representatives will provide a brief overview of the panel’s preliminary findings to-date, and <br />lead a conversation to elicit participants’ perspectives on how the transportation system can support the region’s economic <br />needs and priorities. The Vision Panel will use regional forum participant input to refine its recommendations to the <br />Governor on the future of Oregon’s transportation system. <br /> <br />For more information about the Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel, please go to the panel’s website at <br />https://visionpanel.wordpress.com/ or contact Transportation Planning Manager Rob Inerfeld at <br />rob.inerfeld@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-5343. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />January 7, 2016 <br />
