Regional Transportation Plan Open House - October 25 @ 11:30a or 5:00p @ Online - The Corvallis Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) is hosting two virtual open house sessions on Monday, October 25, for its ongoing update to the Regional Transportation Plan. Each session is one hour and will include a presentation on the future scenarios analysis and a Q and A segment. Attend the Open House. Ask a Question.
Why is a Regional Transportation Plan important? The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies how the Corvallis Metropolitan Area will meet the needs of the transportation system over a 20-year planning horizon. The RTP contains projects and policies to guide the development of a multi-modal transportation system (including transit, highway, bicycle, pedestrian, and accessible transportation) which meets the region’s economic, transportation, development and sustainability goals, while remaining fiscally constrained. This plan is used to guide decisions - large and small - throughout the next 20 years.
