Past TCRG Meetings

February 15, 2012

A Transportation Community Resource Group (TCRG) meeting was held on Wednesday, February 15 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at St. Mary's Catholic Church (1062 Charnelton Street, one block west of the LTD transit station, enter through the rear courtyard). 

The purpose of this meeting was to share the revised goals and objectives developed at last meeting and to discuss possible ideas for projects and programs to address transportation needs. 

* Materials will not be finalized until the end of March.

October 21, 2011 

On October 21st, the Transportation Community Resource Group (TCRG) met to discuss how the Sustainable Transportation Analysis and Rating System (STARS) framework could be used to inform the Eugene Transportation System Plan and, more specifically, identify and prioritize the Plan’s goals and objectives.  Goals and objectives will be used to evaluate potential actions, projects, and funding priorities in the new Transportation System Plan. 

After a lively discussion about what it means to strive for a sustainable transportation system, the participants provided much useful information about the draft goals and objectives, as seen in the meeting notes.  Although the objectives were not prioritized by the end of the day, enough information was received so a new generation of goals and objectives will be crafted for TCRG review.

The topics for the August 2nd meeting were bicycle, pedestrian, and transportation demand management.

Past Meetings

STARS Workshop, September 30, 2011

On September 30 the City of Eugene hosted a training workshop on the Sustainable Transportation Analysis & Rating System (STARS) for planning processes. The City of Eugene is currently using the STARS-Plan framework as a tool to identify goals, objectives, and policies for the Eugene TSP, using the triple bottom line approach. This workshop engaged our Technical Advisory Committee in the STARS framework to ask them to think about what a fully sustainable transportation system in Eugene would look like and to collect feedback on the types of goals, objectives, and polices for the Eugene TSP that would help the City get there.  Click here for the agenda and presentation materials from this workshop.
