Metro
Region 2040 Study
At
roughly the same time that the Oregon Department of Transportation
was considering the Western Bypass, Metro—Portland's Regional
Government—was studying land use and transportation issues for
the entire Portland region through the year 2040. Through this process,
Metro developed a regional plan that incorporates the LUTRAQ alternative
developed by 1000 Friends. Hence as Metro works to implement its 2040
plan, it is essentially implementing LUTRAQ.

Citizens
for Sensible Transportation
Citizens
for Sensible Transportation (CST) is a grassroots citizens organization
formed in 1989 (originally called Sensible Transportation Options
for People--STOP) to oppose the Western Bypass freeway and promote
better transportation options. In 1992, CST expanded its focus to
include educating the public and elected leaders about LUTRAQ. CST
fulfills its mission to support transportation systems that foster
livable communities by participating on regional transportation committees,
providing traffic calming resources to communities struggling with
traffic problems, and promoting LUTRAQ principles nationally.

Corridor Management: Are We Linking Transportation and Land Use Yet?
Transportation
corridors provide access and value to land and this has led to ever
increasing metropolitan sprawl. In Transportation Corridor Management,
authors Dan Carlson and Don Billen ask the question, "Does it have
to be this way?" and try to answer the question by examining cases
from across the United States where institutional, implementation,
and planning mechanisms are either in place or being contemplated
to address the transportation/land use connection.
