State of the System, 2016 ReportINTRODUCTIONAN OVERVIEW OF OREGON’STRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND WHY IT’SIMPORTANT FOR OREGONstatewide high level look with emphasis on the portionof the system managed by the Oregon Department ofTransportation (ODOT).regon’s transportation system is a complex, expensivecollection of public and private assets that facilitatesthe safe and efficient movement of people and goods into,out of and around the state. The system includes airports,freight and passenger rail, public transportation, marineports, state highways, county roads, local streets, bridges,pedestrian walkways, bicycle paths, other facilities, andsupporting infrastructure and services. The transportationsystem serves important functions for all Oregon residents,businesses and visitors alike; employees commuting towork, children going to and from school, farmers shippingcrops to market, businesses receiving materials for use inmanufacturing, high-tech manufacturers sending theirproducts across the globe, consumers buying groceries at thelocal market. An efficient and effective transportation systemis critical for maintaining and enhancing Oregon’s economyand quality of life.THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OFTRANSPORTATION AND ITS ROLE IN THESYSTEMOPURPOSE OF THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM REPORTEvery two years the State of the System report provides keyinformation about how Oregon’s transportation system isperforming in relation to the seven goals of the OregonTransportation Plan (OTP). The report increases awarenessof the state’s transportation assets, and the trends andchallenges affecting these assets. The report provides aODOT, known until 1969 as the State Highway Department,began in 1913. In 1919, Oregon became the first state toenact a tax on fuel to fund road building, so the agencycould “Get Oregon out of the mud.” Today the agencyis organized to better provide an integrated intermodalsystem, balancing the needs of all users. ODOT’s missionis “to provide a safe, efficient transportation system thatsupports economic opportunity and livable communitiesfor Oregonians.” That mission encompasses transportationplanning, developing, managing and maintaining the statehighway system, transportation safety, rail safety, licensingand regulation of drivers, motor vehicles and motor carriers,assistance to public transportation providers, passenger rail,active transportation and more.Local governments and other public and privatetransportation providers have an equally important role inOregon’s transportation system through the developmentand management of county roads and city streets, bicycleand pedestrian facilities, public transportation facilities andservices, airports, rail and port infrastructure, forest serviceroads and other services.PAGE 3
PAGE 4TRENDS AFFECTING OREGON AND ITSTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMA number of major trends and issues are impacting stateagencies, counties, cities and other transportation providersacross Oregon. Some of these are long-term trendsintroduced in earlier editions of the State of the Systemreport, while others are new conditions that pose significantimpact to transportation in Oregon.Î Economic TrendsOregon’s economy relies on technology-based businesses,service-related industries, forest products, agriculture,manufacturing and other sectors, all of which require arange of transportation services for workers, products,and services. In addition to providing a framework tosupport economic activity, transportation investmentssupport job creation and retention through constructionand infrastructure projects. While recent Oregon Officeof Economic Analysis data indicates some U.S. states areshowing signs of a slowing economy, Oregon’s economicactivity continues to grow post-recession. Oregon isoutpacing the typical state by a considerable margin todayfor both job and income gains. This continued growth resultsfrom the state’s underlying fundamentals like its industrialhistory and strong in-migration flows. The Oregon Office ofEconomic Analysis has indicated that job gains have begunto slow in recent months, however these gains remainenough to keep pace with current population growth. Theresult is a return to what can be considered normal labormarket dynamics for the state.Î Aging InfrastructureOregon’s transportation infrastructure is getting olderand more expensive to maintain, preserve and expand.Many critical pieces of infrastructure such as bridges,interchanges, locks and jetties are between 50 and 80 yearsold. Increased maintenance and preservation investmentsare necessary just to keep these older facilities safe andoperational. Because there are so many structures, Oregonneeds to invest a significant portion of resources inmaintenance and preservation of facilities to avoid morecostly reconstruction later on.Î Aging PopulationBy 2035, nearly one-quarter of Oregon residents will be overthe age of 65. As the Baby Boomer cohort continues to retire,there will be expanding need for transportation optionsfor older adults. While many Baby Boomers will continueto drive, research suggests that many will rely on new anddiverse opportunities to travel without having to drive alone,such as public transit, walking and bicycling, car sharing,and other transportation options. The U.S. Census BureauAmerican Community Survey shows that individuals aged 65and older represent a larger share of population in rural areas(over 21 percent) than in urban areas (under 14 percent).Î Increasing PopulationOregon’s population growth is starting to recover from itsrecessionary slump. Much of the upswing in populationgrowth comes from in-migration. Net in-migration isexpected to account for most of Oregon’s population increaseover the coming decades. By 2040, the state’s population isforecast to increase by 35 percent, resulting in a populationof more than 5.2 million, creating new challenges and issuesfor the transportation system. Most of this growth will beconcentrated in the Willamette Valley, Bend area, Medfordarea, and Columbia, Umatilla and Morrow Counties. Since1990 the population of Oregon’s urban areas has outpacedgrowth in rural areas by over 40 percent.
State of the System, 2016 ReportÎ Changes in Vehicle Miles TraveledThe number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is one measureof demand on the highway system. VMT has been growingsteadily since 2013 as Oregon recovered from the most recentrecession; however recent data indicates a slowing of thegrowth starting in 2016. Despite this reduction in the growthrate, VMT in Oregon is forecasted to increase through 2018,growing at a rate similar to population growth.to provide other benefits such as improved public health,cleaner air, improved transportation safety, increased activetransportation, and a more efficient transportation system.Oregonians are also concerned about other impacts on theenvironment. These include protecting wetlands, waterwaysand air quality and inhibiting invasive species. Transportationprojects have to address all of these considerations on anongoing basis.Î Active Transportation and Public HealthThe phrase “active transportation” refers to multimodaltransportation solutions that connect people to wherethey need to go, such as work, school and essentialservices, using “active” modes such as walking andbicycling and connecting to public transportation.Increasingly, communities are interested in providingactive transportation options to support healthy lifestylesand community livability. ODOT and the Oregon HealthAuthority (OHA) have been collaborating to supportcommunication and planning for safe active transportationsolutions and to better understand the interactions oftransportation and health.Î Increasing Safety and SecurityTransportation safety and security practices allowindividuals to travel on the transportation system in asafe manner, and serve to keep the transportation systemsecure and operational. Oregon continually works to reducedeaths, injuries, crashes and incidents on the transportationsystem for all users and modes. Because the transportationsystem is critical to the movement of people, goods andemergency services, adequate protections need to be inplace to ensure that the system will function given potentialnatural or manmade hazards. Oregon must be able torespond to emerging safety and security issues, and beprepared for sudden events so that safety and mobility aremanaged effectively.Î Sustainability and the EnvironmentOregonians are committed to preserving and enhancingthe natural environment of the state. ODOT enacts thiscommitment through its work, including wildlife crossingsand fish passage, climate adaptation, recycling programs andusing clean fuel options in construction equipment whenpossible. ODOT and the Department of Land Conservationand Development (DLCD) have also been helpingmetropolitan areas conduct analysis which explores variousstrategies for reducing transportation-related emissions andother negative transportation impacts. Beyond reducinggreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, these strategies appearTHE OREGON TRANSPORTATION PLAN ANDITS IMPLEMENTATIONThe Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) is the state’s longrange multimodal transportation plan. The OTP considersall modes and jurisdictions of Oregon’s transportationsystem as one integrated system and addresses the needs oftransportation in Oregon through 2030. The seven goals ofthe OTP (with associated policies and strategies) are aimedat guiding the actions, investments and other key decisionsof state and local agencies, regional and local governmentsPAGE 5
PAGE 6and transportation providers. In addition to the OTP, themode and topic plans address specific aspects of thetransportation system.Î Mode and Topic PlansThe mode and topic plans are statewide policy plans whichcover goals and policies for specific transportation modesand topics. These plans serve as elements of the OregonTransportation Plan and help to achieve the OTP goals. Theplans address policy areas and issues to support decisionmaking, strategic investments and project prioritizationthat help deliver an interconnected, robust, efficient andsafe transportation system for Oregon. The plan guidesthe state through efforts such as prioritizing projects,
State of the System, 2016 Reportdeveloping design guidance, collecting important dataand other activities that support a complete multimodaltransportation system. The mode and topic plans include: Oregon Aviation System Plan Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Oregon Highway Plan Oregon Public Transportation Plan Oregon Rail Plan Oregon Transportation Options Plan Oregon Transportation Safety Action PlanThe Oregon Transportation Commission has adoptedupdates to a number of these plans, including; The OregonTransportation Options plan in 2015, the Oregon Bicycleand Pedestrian Plan in 2016, the Oregon TransportationSafety Action Plan in 2016. The update of the OregonPublic Transportation Plan is currently in progress andexpected to be complete in 2018. ODOT will continueto update these plans as needed to stay current withtransportation trends affecting the system to provide thebest transportation system possible for Oregon.THE SEVEN OTP GOALSGoal 1 – Mobility and Accessibility: Providing anintegrated multimodal transportation system that ensuresthe ability to move into, out of and throughout the statewith connections between modes of transportation.Goal 2 – Management of the System: Managingtransportation infrastructure and its operation efficiently.Goal 3 – Economic Vitality: Promoting Oregon’s economythrough an efficient and effective transportation system.Goal 4 – Sustainability: Providing a transportation systemthat balances environmental, economic and communityobjectives now and in the future.Goal 5 – Safety and Security: Protecting Oregonians andthe system from natural and manmade hazards.Goal 6 – Funding the Transportation System: Strivingtoward a flexible funding structure that meets needs.Goal 7 – Coordination, Communication andCooperation: Working effectively with all parties.In this report, the core section headings match the seven OTPgoals. Each section begins with the summarized OTP goal. Tofind the complete goal language as well as the supportingpolicies and strategies, please refer to the OTP /Plans.aspxPAGE 7
PAGE 8AGOALMOBILITY ANDACCESSIBILITY1Provide a balanced, efficient andintegrated transportation system thatensures interconnected access to all areasof the state, the nation and the world.Promote transportation choices that arereliable, accessible and cost-effective.n effective transportation system provides for thesafe and reliable movement of people, goods andservices to all areas inside and outside of the state in abalanced, cost-effective manner. An integrated multimodaltransportation system enhances quality of life and economicvitality through ensuring appropriate access to all areas ofthe system with connectivity between different modes andplaces. This section primarily addresses the movement ofpeople in Oregon; freight movement is discussed in greaterdetail in Goal 3, “Economic Vitality.”Mobility is the ability of all transportation users to travelbetween destinations with relative ease of movement.Accessibility is the opportunity for people to connect toimportant destinations such as jobs, housing, education,services and social and recreational opportunities using avariety of transportation modes. Accessibility is impacted bythe presence or absence of a mode and the connections touse that mode to reach key locations via the transportationnetwork. Mobility and accessibility are more than the abilityto operate a private vehicle on the roadway; they also includethe ability to use a variety of transportation modes. Mobilityand accessibility issues include public transportation by busor rail, alternatives for longer distance travel between cities,special transportation services for senior citizens and peoplewith disabilities, and facilities to support travel by walking,bicycle, wheelchair, scooter, or other means of travel.An integrated transportation system with diverse optionsand seamless transfers between modes is important forOregon’s future – both to facilitate travel choices andeconomic activity in the good times and to foster economicrecovery in the bad times. Oregon’s current transportationinfrastructure has inadequate capacity and the system oftenlacks the transportation options that Oregonians need today.As Oregon’s population continues to increase, the demandson the system will only increase.
State of the System, 2016 ReportCHALLENGES TO MOBILITY ANDACCESSIBILITY Highway congestion throughout the state continues toincrease and last for longer periods of time. Population growth due to in-migration will continue asOregon’s economy and quality of life attract new residents.This will increase congestion and place additionalconstraints on the transportation system. Funds for expansion and maintenance of roadways havebeen decreasing relative to real dollars. Oregon’s goal of a seamless network of walking andbicycling routes within urban areas remains incomplete;currently almost 40 percent of state highways in urbanareas lack basic walking and biking facilities. Travelers between cities often lack options beyond aprivate automobile. This limits mobility for Oregonians.Choices are improving but continued investment inconnectivity and travel choices is needed. Local communities and transit districts that provide publictransportation services have difficulty securing adequatefunding for operations. Access to commercial air service remains a challenge inmany of Oregon’s rural areas.Responses to these trends and conditions require innovativedecisions that maximize the impact of limited investmentdollars. These decisions must prepare Oregon for the future,balancing the use of limited funds on multimodal solutionsfor the urban, rural and freight mobility needs of Oregon.HIGHWAY CONGESTIONImprovements to Oregon’s highway infrastructure areexpensive, and given limited resources it is necessary to bestrategic in all investment decisions. There are alternativesto consider that address highway congestion, especiallyin urban areas. These include Intelligent TransportationSystems, safety programs, improvements to publictransportation services, bicycle and pedestrian facilities,as well as increased rates of ridesharing, carpooling,vanpooling, teleworking and telecommuting. Measures thatreduce single occupancy auto trips are often less expensiveand can be as effective at reducing congestion as roadwayexpansions, but these approaches also have limitations.FREIGHT MOBILITY HUBSFreight mobility hubs are part of a strong multimodalfreight transportation system as they allow bulk goods andcontainers to be transferred between modes, for instancefrom truck to rail, spurring financial and energy efficiency.These intermodal facilities support a variety of industriesmoving goods into, within, and out of Oregon, helpingOregon’s economy thrive. One example is the PrinevilleFreight Depot, which converted an abandoned sawmillinto
