local, regional and state transportation planning agencies. The coordination and joint de- velopment of revisions to TransPlan assures that the plan is adequate to serve state, re- gional and local needs. OAR 660-012-0020(2): The TSP shall include the following elements: (a) A determination of transportation needs as provided in OAR 660-012-0030; The transportation needs are characterized in the two Goals that provide the framework for revisions to TransPlan. The first goal recognizes the need to integrate transportation and land use planning in order to enhance livability, economic opportunity and quality of life. The second goal specifically recognizes the need to provide for a transportation system that is balanced, accessible, efficient, safe, interconnected, environmentally re- sponsible, supportive of responsible and sustainable development, responsive to commu- nity needs and neighborhood impacts, and ecorionucally viable and financially stable. Chapter 1 of the revised TransPlan summarizes the regional trends that have created the region's current transportation needs. Findings of compliance with OAR 660-012-0030 further describe those needs, and the trends that precipitate them. (b) A road plan for a system of arterials and collectors and standards for the layout of local streets and other important non-collector street connections. Functional classifications of roads in regional and local TSPs shall be consis- tent with functional classifications of roads in state and regional TSPs and shall provide for continuity between' adjacent jurisdictions. The standards for the layout of local streets shall provide for safe and convenient bike and pedestrian circulation necessary tQ carry out OAR 660-012-0045(3)(b). New connections to arterials and state highways shall be consistent with desig- nated access management categones~' The'"intent of this requirement is to provide guidance on the spacing of future extensions and connections along existing and future streets which are needed to provide reasonably direct routes for bicycle and pedestrian travel. The revised TransPlan is premised on four TSI roadway policies designed to address the need for a multi-modal roadway system that responds to the needs of all forms and pur- poses of travel, including automobile, transit, bicycle and pedestrian travel and goods movement. These policies address the mo:tJility and safety needs of all roadway users in planning and constructing roadway system improvements; the use of motor vehicle level of service (LOS) standards to maintain acceptable and reliable performance on the road- way system and Oregon Highway Plan (OHP)perfOimance standards on state facilities; and the promotion or development of a regional roadway system that meets combined needs for travel through, within and outside the region. The revised TransPlan roadway implementation measures provide for several categories Exhibit C Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan 18
