Metro is the federally mandated metropolitan planning organization designated by the governor to develop an overall transportation plan and to allocate federal funds for the region. The Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) is a 17-member committee that provides a forum for elected officials and representatives of agencies involved in transportation to evaluate transportation needs in the region and to make recommendations to the Metro Council. The established decision-making process assures a well-balanced regional transportation system and involves local elected officials directly in decisions that help the Metro Council develop regional transportation policies, including allocating transportation funds. Regional Transportation Plan website: oregonmetro.gov/rtp Regional Transit Strategy web site: oregonmetro.gov/transit The preparation of this strategy was financed in part by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration.

  • Pricing and Technology Strategies to Address Congestion on and Financing of America’S Roads
    Pricing and Technology Strategies to Address Congestion on and Financing of America’s Roads Oregon’s Approach Testimony before the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure United States House of Representatives September 11, 2019 Travis Brouwer Assistant Director for Public Affairs Oregon Department of Transportation 1 Chairman DeFazio, Ranking Member Graves, Chair Norton, Ranking Member Davis, and other distinguished members of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, thank you very much for the opportunity to appear before you today. My name is Travis Brouwer and I am the Assistant Director for Public Affairs at the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). I am here today to discuss tolling and congestion pricing on state highways in Oregon. Growing Congestion in Portland Pushes Oregon to Toll Today, Oregon is not a toll state. No state‐owned highway, bridge or tunnel is tolled, and this has been the case for decades. However, growing congestion in Portland led the Oregon Legislature in 2017 to direct ODOT to implement tolling on Interstate 5 and Interstate 205 in the Portland metro area. In the lead up to consideration of a major transportation funding bill, both a blue‐ribbon commission created by Oregon Governor Kate Brown and members of the state legislature embarked on statewide transportation listening tours. These efforts revealed that freeway congestion in the Portland metropolitan area is a statewide concern. Communities and businesses across the state, in many cases located hundreds of miles away from Portland, consistently reported struggles with getting products and people to and through the Portland area. Thanks to these listening tours, policymakers recognized that Portland congestion is an urban problem and a rural problem that must be addressed at a statewide level in Oregon.
