ernments shall meet to discuss means to resolve the conflicts. These may include: (a) Changing the draft TSP to eliminate the conflicts; or (b) Amending acknowledged comprehensive plan provision to eliminate the con- flicts; (c) For MPOs which are not metropolitan service districts, if conflicts persist between regional TSPs and acknowledged comprehensive plans after efforts to achieve compatibility, an affected local government may petition the Commission to resolve the dispute. TransPlan is adopted as a refinement plan of the Metro Plan. Several sections of the Metro Plan are amended, concurrent with the adoption of TransPlan, including the fol- lowing: (1) Metro Plan Section F: Transportation Element. The entire transportation element, including the Introduction, Findings; Goals, and Policies, are revised to ensure consistency between and among the Metro Plan and TransPlan. The Goals and Policies that have become part of the Metro Plan Transportation Element are found in Chapter 2 of the TransPlan. (2) Metro Plan Section E: The'Plan Diagram. This section is amended to include new Metro Plan diagram designations to implement nodal develop- ment. (3) 20-year Capital Investment Actions project lists. As required by OAR 660- 0012-0040, the final fiscally constrained project lists, provided in Chapter 3 of the Trans- Plan, is incorporated into the Metro Plan. (4) The Metro Plan Glossary is amended to add a definitions of Nodal Development. OAR 660-012-0020(1): A TSP shall establish a coordinated network oftransporta- tion facilities adequate to serve state, regio~al and local transportation needs. As stated in Goal 2 of the revised TransPlan, a 'primary goal of TransPlan is to provide a balanced, accessible, efficient and interconnected transportation system that provides for ease of transfer between different modes of travel,- such as auto to bus or bicycle to rail. Transportation System Improvement (TSI) Sys!em- Wide Policy #2 addresses that goal through a policy of intermodal connectivity. That policy is to develop or promote inter- modal linkages for connectivity and ease of transfer among all transportation modes. As detailed in TSI Roadway Policy #3, the revised TransPlan also strives to maintain a coor- dinated roadway network that meets combined needs for travel through, within and out- side the region. The regional roadway sys~em must meet the transportation needs of all users, including motorists, transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians and commercial vehicles, and must be characterized by adequate capacity and seamless connections to roads enter- ing the region. The revised TransPlan meets these goals and policies through a coordinated network of transportation facilities that includes and intertWines roadway, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs aimed at addressing the region's overall transportation needs while reducing reliance on private automobiles and increasing use of alternate modes of transportation. The revised TransPlan was developed in coordination with the Exhibit C Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan 17
