Coordinated Regional Planning

The cities of Eugene and Springfield, Lane County, and Lane Council of Governments are partnering on a number of different regional planning processes. Each will answer critical questions about this region’s future growth. These plans include:

Transportation Planning - The Eugene-Springfield Transportation System Plan (TransPlan), which guides transportation system planning and development in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area, is about to be updated. The Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which guides regional transportation planning and funding in the broader Central Lane urbanized area, is updated every four years and is currently initiating the next update scheduled for completion in the latter half of 2011.

Land Supply and Demand Assessment - Under the requirements of House Bill 3337, the cities of Eugene and Springfield are working to establish separate urban growth boundaries consistent with their jurisdictional area of responsibility.

Population Projections - The Lane County region is also working on adopting coordinated population projections in order to provide a common planning base for the region.

More information on coordinated planning processes will be added as it becomes available, please check back often!
