Oregon’s transportation system connects people and goods to places. ODOT is accountable for the stewardship of public resources and advancing outcomes the state values. This dashboard tracks ODOTs progress and describes the state of the transportation system.

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

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 euqitbale 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, cities or counties.
  • ODOT regulates the safety of railroad operations, inspecting equipment, track, crossings and more.
    • 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.

Within each of the key transportation areas are progress reports for ODOT's Strategic Action Plan. The 2024-2028 Strategic Action Plan identifies the top actions the Oregon Transportation Commission and the Oregon Department of Transportation will focus on over the next five years. It is not comprehensive of all agency efforts; rather, it identifies a narrow set of short-term priority actions that will best serve businesses and people who live, work and travel throughout Oregon. Click on the actions below to navigate directly to Strategic Action Plan progress reports. The full plan can be reviewed here: 2024-2028 Strategic Action Plan
