Section 660-012-0700 - Public Transportation System Planning

(1) Transportation system plans must include a public transportation system element that meets the requirements of this rule. Cities and counties must work in close cooperation with transit service providers in order to complete the public transportation system element of the transportation system plan.

(a) Cities and counties shall coordinate with public transportation service providers to develop the public transportation system element.

(b) The public transportation system element must include elements of the public transportation system that are in the control of the city, county, and coordinating transportation facility owners.

(c) The public transportation system element must identify elements of the public transportation system that the city or county will work with transit service providers to realize or improve, including transit priority corridors, transit supportive infrastructure, and stop amenities.

(d) Cities and counties must coordinate with transit service providers to align the public transportation system element with Transit Development Plans, goals, and other strategic planning documents adopted by transit service providers to the extent practical.

(e) Transportation system plans do not control public transportation elements exclusively controlled by transit service providers. These include funding or details of transit service provision, including timetables and routing.

(2) A public transportation system element must include the following elements:

(a) The complete public transportation system as described in section (3) that includes the full buildout and provision of services of the public transportation system within the urban growth boundary;

(b) Identification of gaps and deficiencies in the public transportation system as described in section (4);

(c) Locations of key public transportation destinations identified as provided in OAR 660-012-0360; and

(d) A list of prioritized public transportation system projects developed as provided in OAR 660-012-0720.

(3) The complete public transportation system is the full buildout of a complete public transportation system within the planning area. The city or county determines the complete public transportation system plan by:

(a) Using the public transportation system inventory developed under OAR 660-012-0705 as a base; and

(b) Adding the minimum public transportation services and facilities to places that do not presently meet the minimum public transportation system requirements in OAR 660-012-0710.

(4) Cities and counties shall identify gaps and deficiencies in the public transportation system by comparing the complete public transportation system with the public transportation system inventory developed under OAR 660-012-0705. Cities and counties must include any part of the complete public transportation system not presently built or operated to the standards in the complete public transportation system plan as a gap or deficiency. Cities and counties must identify gaps in the transit supportive facilities provided on priority transit corridors and other transit corridors identified as provided in OAR 660-012-0710. Transit supportive facilities include, but are not limited to:

(a) Stations, hubs, stops, shelters, signs, and ancillary features; and

(b) Transit priority infrastructure, including signals, queue jumps, and semi-exclusive or exclusive bus lanes or transitways.
