WHEREAS, the Oregon Transportation Plan was ordered by the state
Legislature and approved last year by the State Transportation Commission;
and,
WHEREAS, the Oregon Transportation Plan incorporates a 20 -year vision
for all modes of transportation in Oregon -- roads and bridges, general
aviation airports, local bus and transit systems, ports, rail, bikeways and
pedestrian ways, and is of a statewide transportation system that supports
jobs, strengthens the economy, and creates better access to markets; and,
WHEREAS, under the Plan, Oregon, its counties and its cities, have a
blueprint for preserving their investment in roads and other transportation
infrastructure, making the transportation system safer, and completing
priority transportation projects at the state and local level; and,
WHEREAS, Oregonians will earn a high return for investing in the Oregon
Transportation Plan, in terms of clear air and less traffic congestion, as
well as an average annual savings for each Oregon driver of 38 hours of
driving time lost to congestion, along with more than $300 in operating
costs, and 75 gallons of gasoline per year; and,
WHEREAS, the challenge now is to implement the Plan through a stable
but flexible financing program, adhering to the Oregon transportation
funding principle of user pays and providing a balance among transportation
modes; and,
WHEREAS, an alliance of Oregon state and local governments, business
and civic leaders, and transportation construction and user groups -- the
Transportation 193 Committee -- have joined to develop and endorse a package
of legislative measures, now before the 1993 session of the Legislature,

next six years.
