People interested in transportation safety issues are invited to share their thoughts and ideas with the Transportation Safety Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation at a meeting on Aug. 12 in Lincoln City. The meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon in the Council Chambers at the Lincoln City Hall building at 801 SW Hwy. 101 (Parking is available in the lot above the Price-n-Pride). It will be one of the first steps the Division is taking as it begins the process of updating the Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan.
The Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan is the safety element of the Oregon Transportation Plan, the state’s long-range multimodal transportation plan. The Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan establishes goals, strategies and initiatives that address the core transportation safety challenges and opportunities facing Oregon. It is updated every few years. The current version, last updated in 2006, is posted online.
Wednesday’s meeting agenda includes:
- An outline of the transportation safety planning process
- An overview of transportation safety related data including statewide data and data specific to Lincoln County
- A discussion of statewide and local safety challenges and opportunities
People interested in providing input but who cannot attend the meeting are encouraged to contact Walt McAllister, Community Programs manager for ODOT’s Transportation Safety Division, at (503) 986-4187 or email.
The meeting is open to the public. Accommodations will be provided to persons with disabilities, and alternate formats of printed material are available upon request. Please call (503) 986-4187 prior to the meeting (TTY: (503) 986-3854).
