This State of the System website provides information on the transportation system and services managed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). It is organized by key outcomes the state values such as safety, customer service, climate change, and keeping roads open. We'll update this website regularly to be transparent about what is working well, what needs imorovement, and to hold ourselves accountable to our commitments and improving key outcomes.

What is ODOT’s role in Oregon’s Transportation System?
Providing transportation in Oregon is a group effort between many levels of government. We're all working to make transportation in Oregon safer, cleaner, and more equitable for all users.
- ODOT manages state highways and interstates, and the bikeways and walkways along those routes (see map).
- All other public roads and streets are the responsibility of Tribes, counties, cities, and federal land management agencies.
- ODOT oversees the state’s portion of Amtrak passenger rail service and the Point Bus.
- All other transit is delivered by local transit agencies, Tribes, counties or cities.
- ODOT regulates the safety of railroad operations, inspecting equipment, track and crossings infrastructure, operating practices and clearances and walkways.
- Otherwise, freight rail is privately owned and operated, and ports are not under the authority of ODOT.
- ODOT regulates commercial vehicles and their drivers through licensing, registration, safety inspections, audits, permitting, education and enforcement.
- Federal and State funding passes to and through ODOT, with requirements on how that money is directed (learn more on the
About Funding Page).
- The Oregon DMV is part of ODOT.

This dashboard tells the story of how ODOT is doing in seven key transportation areas. The areas come from the Oregon Transportation Plan -- the guiding state transportation policy document -- and the ODOT Strategic Action Plan, which sets near-term commitments for the agency. ODOT uses the information on this website, which is updated regularly, to guide needed changes and improve performance. These changes are summarized on the bottom of each topic page, which highlights efforts underway from the Strategic Action Plan and beyond.
