Shaking Up the Dice...
ODOT is requesting opinions on what might get tolled...
The 2025 Legislative Session will be soon upon us. At the forefront will be bills for funding transportation and how that funding might be collected.
In this weeks article, it appears ODOT is wanting your input on what defines a toll road.
Do note, as we have stated before, tolling is merely in a state of pause. Now what might get tolled is apparently a whole new subject.
In Short
Article 1 - From the ODOT announcement… “draft proposed rules will go out for formal public comment starting September 1 and close on October 3. A virtual public hearing on the limited rules will be held on September 18 from 12-1:30 p.m. We (ODOT) plan to present the draft rules to the OTC for their formal approval at the November 14 meeting.”
“The proposed updated rules focus on how the Oregon Transportation Commission will designate a road a tollway, as well as the process for the OTC to set, review, and update rates…”
Article 2 - Join us for our Multi-Chamber Key Leaders Breakfast on Transportation Friday Septemeber 6th, 2024 7am to 9:30am
Presented by the Tualatin Chamber’s Business Advocacy Council

ODOT is asking for your public comments
I notice Portland Chamber of Commerce is not involved. LOL. I guess it changed it's name to Portland Business Alliance and again in 2023 to Portland Metro Chamber. Because branding is everything.
Back a long time ago, they used to post online their biggest $ members and the membership levels. Guess who the biggest members where? Ha!: Government entities and NGOs. Not how I would define "Commerce." But then again they did take "Commerce" out of their name.
Sure good to know other cities and counties aren't so corrupted.
