Finance <br /> <br />Not all Transportation Element policies will apply to a specific transportatiQn-related <br />decision. When conformance with adopted policy is required, policies in this and other <br />Metro Plan elements will be examined to determine which policies are relevant and can be <br />applied. When policies support varying positions, decision makers will seek a balance of <br />all applicable policies. Goals are timeless, but some policies will expire as they are <br />implemented. <br /> <br />Goals <br /> <br />1. Provide an integrated transportation and land use system that supports choices in modes <br />of travel and development patterns that will reduce reliance on the automobile and <br />enhance livability, economic opportunity, and the quality of life. <br /> <br />2. Enhance the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area's quality of life and economic <br />opportunity by providing a transportation system that is: <br /> <br />a) Balanced, <br />b) Accessible, <br />c) Efficient, <br />d) Safe, <br />e) Interconnected, <br />t) Environmentally responsible, <br />g) Supportive of responsible and sustainable development, <br />h) Responsive to community needs and neighborhood impacts, and <br />i) Economically viable and financially stable. <br /> <br />Land Use <br /> <br />Findings <br /> <br />1. The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) (1992) states that Oregon's land use <br />development patterns have tended to separate residential areas from employment and <br />commercial centers, requiring people to drive almost everywhere they go; that the results <br />have been increased congestion, air pollution, and sprawl in the metropolitan areas and <br />diminished livability; that these auto-dependent land use patterns limit mobility and <br /> <br />Exhibit A <br />Metro Plan Text Amendments <br /> <br />2 <br />
