Transportation Programs and Projects

As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Salem-Keizer Area Transportation Study (SKATS) coordinates the regional transportation planning process and investments for the area. This includes:

The MPO is advised by the SKATS Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and directed by the Policy Committee (PC). Agendas and minutes are available here.

Public Participation

An extensive public involvement process is associated with each of the major planning, programming, and project decisions made by the SKATS Policy Committee. The Public Participation Plan for the Regional Transportation Planning Process in the Salem-Keizer Urban Area, adopted September 26, 2006, serves as a guide for that process to ensure the ongoing opportunity for broad-based public participation in the development and review of regional transportation plans, programs, and projects.

Getting You From Here to There briefly describes the SKATS regional transportatoin planning process, in relation to transportation planning at the local and state levels.
