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.
