| What is the OTP? |
|
The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) is the state’s long-range multimodal transportation plan. The OTP is the overarching policy document among a series of plans that together form the state transportation system plan. The OTP considers all modes of Oregon’s transportation system as a single system and addresses the future needs of Oregon’s airports, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, highways and roadways, pipelines, ports and waterway facilities, public transportation, and railroads through 2030. It assesses state, regional, and local public and private transportation facilities. The OTP establishes goals, policies, strategies and initiatives that address the core challenges and opportunities facing Oregon. The Plan provides the framework for prioritizing transportation improvements based on varied future revenue conditions, but it does not identify specific projects for development.
The new OTP, adopted September 20, 2006, supersedes the 1992 Plan. The 1992 OTP established a vision of a balanced, multimodal transportation system and called for an expansion of ODOT’s role in funding non-highway investments. With fourteen years of experience and technological advances, the 2006 OTP provides a framework to further these policy objectives with emphasis on maintaining the assets in place, optimizing the existing system performance through technology and better system integration, creating sustainable funding and investing in strategic capacity enhancements.

| Committee Process |
|
The OTP reflects the work of many interested parties who participated throughout the plan development process. In addition to the numerous groups and individuals who provided valuable comments on the OTP, four committees were assembled to help guide vital aspects of the planning process.
Three OTP policy committees drafted policies in particular focus areas. The Mobility and Economic Vitality Policy Committee developed policies to increase the efficient intercity, interstate and international movement of people and goods and support economic vitality. The Safety and Security Policy Committee crafted policies to increase transportation safety and security. The Sustainability and Transportation Choices Policy Committee focused on supporting livable communities and developing a sustainable transportation system.
The OTP Steering Committee oversaw plan development and provided overall plan direction. The committee defined a plan vision, revised policies, guided analysis processes, and recommended investment strategies and key initiatives.
