Key stakeholders from across the region including public agency staff, transportation operations professionals, and private representatives of the traveling public, convened to develop a regional TSMO plan. Expenditures were identified for capital improvements and investments in maintaining system personnel and promoting services, as well as managing the overall operations for each functional area over a 10 year period from 2010 to 2020. The tables below show example of cost estimates for regional multimodal and transportation demand management projects in the Portland metro area.
