Or. Admin. Code § 660-012-0720 - Public Transportation System Projects

(1) Cities and counties shall develop a list of public transportation projects that would address all the gaps and deficiencies in the public transportation system identified by the city under OAR 660-012-0700(4).

(2) Cities and counties shall coordinate with transit service providers to identify the gaps in transit service provided in the transportation system plan and those identified in a land use and transportation scenario plan as provided in OAR 660-044-0110 or in the Statewide Transportation Strategy as adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission, including the gap in transit miles per capita, and gaps for each priority transit corridor and other transit corridors. The purpose of identifying these gaps is to illustrate the need for transit service operating funds for services operated within the planning area. The transportation system plan need not make provisions for funding operations of transit services directly.

(3) Cities and counties shall develop public transportation system project prioritization factors that are able to sort the list of public transportation system projects into a prioritized list of public transportation system projects. Cities must develop public transportation project prioritization factors by engaging underserved populations as provided in OAR 660-012-0130.

(4) Cities and counties shall use the following factors when prioritizing public transportation system projects:

(a) Public transportation system investments in climate-friendly areas and Metro Region 2040 centers;

(b) Public transportation system investments in areas with concentrations of underserved populations, particularly in areas with concentrations of people dependent on public transportation;

(c) Public transportation system investments that provide access to key public transportation destinations identified as provided in OAR 660-012-0360;

(d) Public transportation system investments that will connect to, fill gaps in, and expand the existing public transportation network;

(e) Public transportation system investments that prioritize transit travel consistent with the prioritization factors in OAR 660-012-0155; and

(f) Where applicable, public transportation system investments that implement a scenario plan approved by order as provided in OAR 660-044-0120.

(5) The transportation system plan must include a description of the prioritization factors and method of prioritizing public transportation projects used to develop the prioritized list of public transportation projects.
