  • DRAFT: TSP 2035 Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report
    Washington County TSP 2035 • Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report **DRAFT 9/27/12** Chapter 4: Active Transportation and Transit 4.1 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION OVERVIEW This chapter describes existing conditions and future needs for three “active” modes of travel: walking, bicycling and taking transit. 4.1.1 What is Active Transportation? Active transportation refers to human-powered travel, including walking and bicycling. Public transit is also a component of active transportation because accessing transit stops usually involves walking or bicycling. Widespread use of the term began in the first decade of the 21st century as policymakers placed increased emphasis on non-automobile modes, and as the links between human health and transportation planning became more evident. Active transportation modes are essential components of the overall transportation system, meeting a variety of societal, environmental and economic goals. These include: • Environmental stewardship. In Oregon, approximately 34% of greenhouse gas emissions – the largest share – can be attributed to motor vehicles.1 Replacing automobile trips with active trips reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, air toxics and particulates, helping to improve regional air quality and address one of the leading causes of climate change. • Congestion alleviation. It is simple arithmetic that walk, bike and transit trips reduce the number of motor vehicles vying for space on roadways and in parking lots. The active mode share for commuting from Washington County is about 11%, representing roughly 27,000 people who do not drive to work.2 Reduced congestion improves air quality, quality of life, and economic productivity. • Health. America is facing a health epidemic related to obesity and inactivity.

On the Northwest Coast (Ames and Maschner 1999; Northwest Coast, one such material is obsidian, Carlson 1994; Galm 1994; Hughes and Connolly which is visually distinctive, easily redistributed, 1999) have been seen as critical in the evolution of and could be used to create more prestige goods for the complex Northwest Coast cultural expression the household’s elites.

But commodities such as obsidian, prehistory (Ames 1994:223). The issue we explore which is both commonly present in archaeological here is the extent to which people of the Willamette contexts in the region and easily traceable to Valley participated in the regional exchange source, provide an important tool in mapping long- networks. The large site-to-site variations seen in distance economic links. the frequencies of Inman Creek and Obsidian Cliffs Previous obsidian characterization studies have obsidians, especially in the lower Willamette speculated that the distribution of obsidian in Valley, imply their distribution as commodities, western Oregon was due to direct procurement and rather than natural deposition.
