Transportation Planning Rule (TPR): <br /> OAR 660-012, adopted by the Land Conservation <br />and Development Commission (LCDC) implements Statewide Planning Goal 12 <br />(Transportation) and other statewide goal requirements related to transportation. The TPR <br />directs local governments to prepare and adopt transportation system plans to accommodate <br />planned development and promotes the development of safe, convenient and economic <br />transportation systems that are designed to reduce reliance on the automobile. DLCD <br />administers the TPR in cooperation with ODOT. Some local jurisdictions are exempt from <br />the Transportation Planning Rule due to small populations, as specified in the TPR. <br />Transportation System Plan (TSP): <br /> The overall plan for all transportation modes for a <br />given area (usually city, county or MPO). TSPs make land use decisions about need, mode, <br />function and general location of planned transportation facilities and improvements. The <br />TPR requires that most cities and counties prepare and adopt a TSP. (Transportation <br />Planning Rule: OAR 660-012) <br />Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT): <br /> A unit to measure travel for private vehicles, such as <br />automobiles, vans, pickup trucks, or motorcycles. Each mile traveled is counted as one <br />vehicle mile regardless of the number of persons in the vehicle. <br />Page 34 <br />
