Section 660-012-0710 - Public Transportation System Requirements

(1) Cities and counties shall plan for a connected local transit network that serves key destinations identified as provided in OAR 660-012-0360, and can be accessed by housing and jobs within the planning area. Cities must identify transit corridors, including:

(a) Priority transit corridors, which are transit corridors that are planned for the highest levels of regional transit service providing for a wide range of mobility needs; and

(b) Other transit corridors, which are planned to carry at least a moderate level of transit service providing for basic mobility needs.

(2) Cities and counties shall plan for a range of transit supportive facilities along priority transit corridors and in other locations where transit priority is desired. Cities and counties shall:

(a) Coordinate with transit service providers to determine transit priority infrastructure needed on priority transit routes for efficient transit service;

(b) Prioritize expedited access for transit vehicles to and from major stops, stations, and terminals; and

(c) Consider intercity transit access to stations or terminals.

(3) Cities and counties shall plan for safe and accessible transit stops and stations.

(a) Along priority transit corridors and other locations where transit priority is desired, cities and counties shall coordinate with transit service providers on the construction of transit supportive facilities. Cities and counties shall allow transit service providers to construct amenities at stops outright, with limited permitting requirements. These amenities include but are not limited to: pedestrian facility repair and extension, signage, lighting, benches, and shelters.

(b) Cities and counties shall limit on-street parking at transit stop locations at the request of a transit service provider.

(4) Cities and counties shall coordinate with transit service providers to identify needs for intercity transit services at a level appropriate to the size of the urban area and the size and distance of intercity markets.

(5) Cities and counties shall coordinate with transit service providers to identify gaps in transit service provided in the transportation system plan, and gaps for each priority transit corridor and other transit corridors.

(6) Cities and counties with an urban area of less than 10,000 population need not plan for priority transit corridors.
