Vision and Goals

In March 2011, Clackamas County completed a Draft Transportation Policy Framework to serve as the starting point and guide for the Transportation System Plan update process. Over the last several months the Public Advisory Committee, community members and the Technical Advisory Committee have been working on the original draft vision and goals. Through their collective efforts, they have developed the following vision and goals for the County's Transportation System Plan.
