SKATS 2031 Regional Transportation Systems Plan (RTSP)
The RTSP, adopted on May 22, 2007, is based on 24-year projections of
population, employment, and land use in the
Salem-Keizer area. It provides a comprehensive,
long-range plan for meeting our transportation
needs over the next 24 years. The main portion
of the plan identifies projects that have a
reasonable certainty of being funded and result
in an improvement in the air quality of the
area. Another portion of the plan describes
those transportation projects that the area
would like to implement if additional funding
was secured.
The RTSP was last updated in 2005. The current plan reflects new federal regulations that became law in late 2005. Two new chapters were added to the plan: one to address the safety and security of the regional transportation system, and one to examine how and where potential projects might impact environmental, cultural, or historical resources.
The
2031 RTSP is available on CD-ROM by request
and at the Salem Public Library. It can also
