The Region 4 Planning and Programming Unit oversees planning projects, projects done in coordination with local cities and counties and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, which identifies projects and funding on a four-year cycle.
The planning program conducts multimodal transportation planning in accordance with federal and state requirements. Our planning program works closely with many partners throughout Central Oregon including cities, counties, and the Bend Metropolitan Planning Organization.
The Region 4 planning program focuses on:
- Long-term planning of future transportation facilities, including special planning projects and programs such as the Transportation Growth Management Program (TGM).
- Short-term planning activities associated with ODOT’s project development and delivery.
- Working with local jurisdictions, developers, and other planners to better coordinate land development and transportation.
