There are two primary long range transportation plans that the Central Lane MPO is required to prepare, the Regional Transportation Plan and the Regional Transportation System Plan. 

Regional Transportation Plan

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is required by the federal government for all metropolitan areas with populations over 50,000. It is a 20-year planning document covering jurisdictions within the MPO area including Coburg, Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County. The RTP includes a list of all regionally significant projects and is updated every four years.

2035 Regional Transportation Plan

The updated plan was approved by the Metropolitan Policy Committee at their December 8, 2011 meeting, and will be effective after finalization of the Air Quality Conformity Determination.  Please see this page for more information on the update process.  Click here for the adopted 2035 Regional Transportation Plan. 

Regional Transportation System Plan

TransPlan is the local transportation system plan (RTSP) required by the State of Oregon. It guides transportation system planning and development in the metropolitan area and establishes transportation policies in support of the Metro Plan, the region’s comprehensive land use plan. The RTSP also acts as a “bridge” between the local transportation system plans and the RTP.  TransPlan was adopted, updated and amended by the full governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County, and was most recently amended in July 2002.

Existing RTSP:

The existing RTSP (July 2002 TransPlan) is available on the LCOG website.

RTSP Update:

The Central Lane MPO is required to update the RTSP by the end of 2013.  The project will involve the communities of Coburg, Eugene, and Springfield, including citizens, staff and elected officials. It will also involve Lane Transit District (LTD), point2point Solutions (p2p), Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Lane County, and Lane Council of Governments (LCOG).
