PBOT is updating their all-important and all-powerful Transportation System Plan (TSP). This is the guiding document for transportation policymaking. This is the second meeting of their Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC).

From PBOT:

The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the 20-year plan to guide transportation projects, programs, policies, and investments in Portland.

The 2045 TSP Community Advisory Committee advises the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) director and staff on key tasks, policies, and outcomes, while offering insights into community values and investment priorities throughout all phases of the TSP workplan.

From ODOT:

The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) establishes state transportation policy. The commission also guides the planning, development and management of a statewide integrated transportation network that provides efficient access, is safe, and enhances Oregon’s economy and livability. The governor appoints five commissioners, ensuring that different geographic regions of the state are represented. One member must live east of the Cascade Range; no more than three members can belong to one political party.
