The 1999 Oregon Highway Plan
The 1999 Oregon Highway Plan, (OHP), establishes policies and investment strategies for the State Highway System.
Policies emphasize the efficient management of the highway system to increase safety and extend highway capacity, partnerships with other agencies and local governments, and the use of new techniques to improve road safety and capacity. They link land use and transportation, set standards for highway performance and access management, and emphasize the link between state highways and local road, bicycle/pedestrian, transit, rail and air systems. Policies call for designation of Special Transportation Areas, Urban Business Areas and Commercial Centers that emphasize easy pedestrian and automobile movements in compact centers on the highway, and for classification of high speed, high volume highways as Expressways.
The Highway Plan contains investment strategies that address today´s limited funding levels and explains how ODOT would invest any additional revenues that become available in the future.
The Oregon Transportation Commission adopted the Highway Plan on March 18, 1999.
