The purpose of the plans is to outline how ODOT will manage each highway. The plans also discuss how non- ODOT services and facilities can be improved to coordinate with the overall corrldor transportation system. Because the OR 38 and OR 42 highways serve much the same role and essentially the same region, this summary addresses conditions, policy, and proposed projects for both corridors. The Corridor Plans are based on: A description of current and future conditions on each corridor, as they relate to the function of the highway,
