Challenges Confronting Metropolitan Portland's Transportation Decision-Making Regime
A regional transport decision-making regime evolved in the latter 1970s in the Portland metropolitan area. This evolution took place during the process of restructuring the region's approach to the utilization of transport as a mechanism for shaping metropolitan development. The paper discusses cultivating new sources of project finance, as the federal government reduces its contribution; and integrating transport projects with regional and local land use plans designed to manage urban growth; in the context of intensifying competition between business centers within the region, as rapidly growing suburban areas seek transport projects that will facilitate locally-oriented economic growth. The paper discusses the institutional and normative elements of the regional consensus process in historical context, and develops a set of case studies: Relocating a central Portland freeway; The Westside Bypass; Light rail transit planning; and Finding new sources of project finance.
