Objective 11.4 Monitor the efficiency and cost effectiveness of transportation maintenance procedures
and revise as needed, to provide effective use of available maintenance funds�
• Strategy 11.4.1 Where practicable, limit construction maintenance related administrative costs.

• Strategy 11.4.2 Where practicable, implement efficient and cost effective maintenance opera-
tions by efforts to:
› Consolidate maintenance activity geographically,

› Monitor, identify and correct failures,
› Determine cause, and modify practices, and
› Take advantage of opportunities to leverage resources through cooperative arrangements with
other agencies, regional utilities, and local businesses.

Objective 11�5 Distinguish between countywide and local maintenance responsibilities� Address trans-
portation system maintenance needs through mechanisms that recognize the primary responsibility of
ADOPTED TEXT • Strategy 11.5.1 Confine countywide road maintenance and reconstruction program (i.e. Road
system users�

Fund) activities to roads that have been formally accepted as “County Roads”. Limit expendi-
tures on noncounty roads (i.e. local access or public roads) to those prescribed by the Oregon
Revised Statutes and the direction of the County Board of Commissioners.
• Strategy 11.5.2 Where appropriate, finance the reconstruction, minor improvement or mainte-
nance of Neighborhood Routes and Local Streets through localized funding mechanisms, such
as the Urban Road Maintenance District (URMD) or Local Improvement Districts (LIDs).

Objective 11�6 Encourage the adequate maintenance of facilities intended for nonauto use�

• Strategy 11.6.1 When and where appropriate, maintain the element of the transportation infra-
structure intended for non-auto use by:
› Incorporating the non-auto facilities within the right-of-way into the regular maintenance program.
› Integrating pedestrian and bicycle improvements with road maintenance projects, such as resur-
facing or shoulder widening, to take advantage of cost-sharing opportunities.
• Strategy 11.6.2 Consider a maintenance program to keep pedestrian facilities along County
roads in adequate condition.

• Strategy 11.6.3 Consider developing supplemental funding sources for the maintenance of the
non-auto system facilities.
