The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has recognized the special requirements of the coastal corridor for some time and has fostered a transportation research and planning effort which aims to provide for necessary traffic capacity increases while maintaining or enhancing the coast as a travel destination. ODOT seeks to develop a scenic highway corridor along the coast which protects aesthetic qualities while serving diverse transportation needs. This proactive approach makes use of Oregon's strong local land use planning legislation, the extensive public ownership of coastal lands, the extensive state park network on the coast, ODOT's commitment to highway access management, and a variety of parkway and safety design features.
