Step 4: Future Conditions

The following table identifies the air elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows. While air transportation is not a required element of a metropolitan area TSP, it may be an important aspect of a community's transportation system.

Cities and counties must consider the needs of all users when identifying future deficiencies in the bicycle system. For all TSPs, local governments must identify needs along all arterial and collector streets. In addition to this requirement, within metropolitan areas, local governments must complete a more in-depth deficiencies analysis within climate friendly areas, Metro Region 2040 Centers, and within one-quarter mile of all primary and secondary schools, and along bicycle boulevards. (OAR 660-012-0605[2]).

The following table identifies the bicycle elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows.

The following table identifies the marine elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows. While marine transportation is not a required element of a metropolitan area TSP, it may be an important aspect of a community's transportation system.

Cities and counties must consider the needs of all users when identifying future deficiencies in the pedestrian system. For all TSPs, local governments must identify needs along all arterial and collector streets. In addition to this requirement, within metropolitan areas, local governments must complete a more in depth deficiencies analysis within climate-friendly areas, Metro Region 2040 centers, and within one-quarter mile of all primary and secondary schools (OAR 660-012-0605[2]).

The following table identifies the pedestrian elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows.

The following table identifies the pipeline elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Shall) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows. While pipeline transportation is not a required element of a metropolitan area TSP, it may be an important aspect of a community's transportation system.

The following table identifies the rail elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows. While rail transportation is not a required element of a metropolitan area TSP, it may be an important aspect of a community's transportation system.

The following table identifies the roadway elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows.

Cities and counties must work in close cooperation with transit service providers to complete the public transportation system element of the TSP. Cities and counties must consider the needs of all users when identifying future deficiencies in the transit system.

The following table identifies the public transportation elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows.

The following table identifies the truck freight elements that shall (Shall) be addressed in the future deficiencies determination to meet best practices and/or ensure compliance with the TPR. The table also identifies elements that should (Should) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows, and elements that, although not typically required or critical to the development of most TSPs, could (Could) be included when locally appropriate and when funding allows. While truck freight transportation is not a separately required element of a metropolitan area TSP, components of this section are required, and it may be useful to create a truck freight section independent of the broader roadway element.
