State of the System: Welcome Page

What is ODOT’s role in Oregon’s Transportation System? 

• ODOT manages state highways, interstates, and the bikeways and walkways along those routes. 
• All other public roads and streets are the responsibility of others (e.g. cities). See the Resources page to learn more.
  
• ODOT oversees the state’s portion of Amtrak passenger rail service and the Point Bus. 
• All other transit is overseen by local transit agencies, Tribes, cities or counties. 
• ODOT regulates railroad safety.
  
• Otherwise, freight rail is privately owned and operated, and Oregon's ports are not under the authority of ODOT. 
• ODOT regulates commercial vehicles (like freight trucks) and their drivers.
  
• The Oregon DMV is part of ODOT.
• Federal and state funding passes through ODOT, with requirements on how that money is directed. 
  

This dashboard tells the story of how ODOT is doing in 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.
