This link includes long range multi-modal and modal statewide plans, along with information and policies on where the state's transportation system is heading in the future and the agency's priorities. Planning-related guidance materials are also included on this webpage, such as best practice materials on processes or guidelines to interpret a statue, rule, commission or agency-driven directive.

Transportation Planning in Oregon is guided and directed by several Oregon Administrative Rules and Oregon Revised Statutes. These include goals for transportation planning, coordination with other state agencies, and coordination with local governments.

Description coming soon.

Tools, methods and procedures used for transportation, land use and economic analysis.

For personal travel the most common modes are automobile, aviation, bicycle, pedestrian movement, rail and transit. Common freight transportation modes include aviation, rail, truck, watercraft and pipeline. Planning for a multimodal transportation system is documented in the Oregon Transportation Plan and in statewide modal and topic plans.

Many projects that Transportation Planning is responsible for completing come via legislative direction. These projects are often large scale policy or program issues and require extensive public involvement and coordination. Projects that have not completed the required work can be found through this page. Completed projects are often located under Plans and Guidance, or Rules, Policies and Procedures. Current intiatives include: Oregon Sustainable Transportation Initiative, Oregon Industrial Development and Least Cost Planning.

Transportation Planning works with a number of diverse committees to help advise work on the projects and programs that we are responsible for. On this page you will be able to find information related to the work of these committees including membership lists, a meeting calendar, past and present agendas and minutes, and more. This page will also provide links to some of the other committees the department collaborates with on a regular basis.

The Planning Section hosts a variety of funding programs such as ConnectOregon, Flexible Funds and Transportation and Growth Management (a joint program with the Department of Land Conservation).

The Section consists of four different units: Freight Transportation, Program and Economic Analysis, Transportation Planning, and Transportation Planning and Analysis.
