One Oregon: Transportation report proposes recommendations to state system

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s Transportation Vision Panel has outlined 10 areas of recommended improvements for the state’s transportation system in the “One Oregon, A vision for Oregon’s Transportation System” report issued this week.

The report has been in the works for a year by a 35-member panel, and is intended to cover near-term recommendations and a “vision” for 30 years.

“It is the panel’s vision that in 30 years Oregon will have a transportation system in good repair, resilient to natural disasters, and financially stable,” says panel co-chair Gregg Kantor. “Oregon will have a safe, reliable, and efficient multimodal network that supports Oregon’s businesses and enhances Oregonians’ quality of life. But to get there, we must take immediate action.”

The recommendations from the report include:

Transportation maintenance

Roadway bottlenecks

Transit
