Oregon’s current funding structure is not designed to finance a modern, multimodal transportation network. We recognize the need to diversify our revenue sources and adopt new funding options. We must change today’s funding model to one that invests more money in alternative transportation options, including bikeways, pedestrian routes, and public transportation.
The goals under this priority highlight the need for new revenue sources such as tolling and road usage charges.
As a responsible steward of public funds, we are also taking steps to ensure our agency's long-term fiscal health.
Overall Goal:
Seek sufficient and reliable funding to support a modern transportation system and a fiscally sound ODOT.
