Abstract:

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) charged the Access Management Advisory Committee (AMAC) with the task of addressing issues related to implementation of the access management portions of the 1999 Oregon Highway Plan (OHP). AMAC commenced its work on February 19, 1999 and held eighteen meetings between that date and December 14, 1999. The AMAC process included facilitated assessment of complex, interrelated transportation planning issues, development of draft rule language and recommendations for changes to the OHP. Committee members communicated with their respective stakeholder groups and ODOT staff worked tirelessly to produce a comprehensive set of administrative rules. AMAC submitted its draft rules to ODOT in June of 1999, followed the subsequent public hearing process through October, reviewed ODOT's subsequent edits, and considered the hearing officer's report of public comments during its December 1999 meeting. The final written public comment period concluded January 7, 2000 and the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) adopted the rules without amendment on February 9, 2000. The new Chapter 734 Division 51 Access Management Administrative Rules were filed with the Secretary of State on February 14, 2000 with an effective date of April 1, 2000.
