T-2000 transportation plan
By ANN TRENEMAN

Anticipated controversies re
lated to the Eugene-Springfield
Area 2000 Transportation plan
were discussed Saturday during a
public forum at Harris Hall.
The forum, which attracted
about 20 people, was coordinated
by the Eugene-Springfield Com
munity Meet, a council of neigh
borhood groups, to “begin the
coordination process to respond
to the T-2000 plan when public
hearings come,” according to
Gary Spivak, Whitaker Commun
ity Council's representative.
The first few hours of the forum
consisted of a panel discussion on
problems the group sees in the
plan. Population growth and
land-use planning, potential
energy constraints on private ve
hicles, the plan’s financing, ways
of increasing use of alternate
modes of transportation and traffic
congestion, were also discussed.
The panel stressed that a coor
dinated effort with specific pro
posals and criticisms will be more
effective during the public hear
ings than voiced opinions by citi
zens. Another forum is planned for
Jan. 7, after the technical report
supplement to the plan has been
published.
The T-2000 plan forsees that by
the year 2000, an estimated 30
per cent of all trips within Eugene
will be made by alternate modes
of transportation. The plan pro
jects that 14 per cent of all trips will
be made by bus. Currently, six to
seven per cent of all trips are
made by bus, according to Spivak.
Various incentives for people to
opt for bus over automobile travel,
were discussed by panel mem
bers. One suggestion was to at

tach bicycle racks to buses to
allow bikes to be carried around
with their owner. But an objection
was that the racks wouldn’t be
used enough to pay for the extra
cost.
Another suggestion was the
park and ride system in which
people would drive to their station
and bus to their destination. One
woman said downtown employers
could encourage bus travel by of
fering special deals to their em
ployes with bus passes. A revers
able lane for only bus use during
peak traffic hours and intersection
priority for buses were other
ideas.
Staggering work hours to com
bat rush hour traffic was discus
sed as a way to increase bus rid
ership without adding extra buses.
John Silvermoon, Friendly Area
Neighbors representative said
this would be a poor idea because
the rush hour lasts one and a half
hours instead of 45 minutes.
The plan's financing is not ade
quate to implement the T-2000
plan's demands Spivak said. "It
will probably come down to raising
taxes or raising rates."
Ollie Snowden, Lane Council of
Governments transportation
coordinator, noted that while
Eugene has kept with its 14 per
cent mass transit goal by 2000.
Springfield has changed its goal
from 10 per cent to 5 per cent.
