I. FINDINGS OF CONSISTENCY WITH STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS Goall - Citizen Involvement: To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The amendments to the transportation element of the Metro Plan and the proposed revi- sions to TransPlan were developed as a part ofa comprehensive review of the Eugene- Springfield transportation system plan (TransPlan). This review focused on revisions to TransPlan and related amendments to the transportation element of the Metro Plan. The Metro Plan designates the Joint Planning Commission Committee (JPCC), a com- mittee composed of two representatives from each of the metropolitan planning commis.,. sions, as the citizens committee to review citizen involvement plans for metropolitan planning projects. Phase I of the TransPlan update process began in June 1992 with the development of a citizen involvement plan. The plan was prepared by the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) and approved byjpCC in September 1992. Beginning in No- vember 1992, two community workshops were held to introduce the TransPlan update process, surveys were distributed, and presentations were made to a variety of citizen groups. Phase II of the public involvement process was approved by the JPCC in April 1993 and approved by the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) in May 1993. MPC is composed of six elected officials (two each from Eugene, Springfield and Lane County). When considering metropolitan transportation planning matters such as the TransPlan update, two members of the Lane Transit District Board also serve as voting members. Phase II involved the selection of stakeholder groups and stakeholder group representatives. The Exhibit C Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan 4
