He reported that since then local jurisdiction staff had been working together with state agencies to <br />develop a regional transportation planning work plan to present to the Land Conservation and Development <br />Commission (LCDC) in October for its approval. He hoped to garner JEO input on the draft plan. <br /> <br />Rob Inerfeld, Transportation Planning Manager for the Eugene Public Works Department, stated that the <br />Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) had adopted an updated federally required Regional Transportation <br />Plan (RTP) in November, 2007. He said this had triggered a requirement that the TransPlan, the state- <br />mandated transportation system plan for Eugene, Springfield, and metropolitan Lane County, should be <br />made consistent with the RTP or that the jurisdictions should present a work plan to the LCDC for making <br />TransPlan consistent with the RTP. He noted that the City of Coburg had its own Transportation System <br />Plan (TSP) and had made a finding that it was consistent with the RTP.
