Expanding transportation choice and access

To make travel safer and healthier in Clackamas County, we are developing tools and programs for travelers and employers. This set of tools, or travel options, will help expand awareness about transit services, recreational trails and carpooling to improve public health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What does a travel options action plan do?

The plan will:

  • Develop a suite of travel options for people in urban Clackamas County to broaden ways for people to travel without a vehicle.
  • Identify new, innovative opportunities to improve mobility.
  • Define strategies to help people use transportation networks and infrastructure more effectively without using a vehicle.
  • Explore strategies to reduce congestion on roadways such as van pools, commuter shuttles, bike parking, vehicle parking policy and employer-provided reduced cost transit pass programs.
  • Fulfill the travel options requirement of the transportation system plan for the State of Oregon
  • Develop and implement a pilot program to improve mobility for targeted audiences in Clackamas County.

Project area

All urban areas of Clackamas County are included in this analysis and action plan. The county will coordinate with cities about travel options in their specific areas.
