State Transportation

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) administers statewide transportation programs and funds and governs state-owned transportation facilities. The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) oversees ODOT spending.

The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) is ODOT's 25-year transportation plan. Refinements of the OTP include: Oregon Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan, Oregon Highway Plan, Oregon Transportation Options Plan, Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan, Oregon Aviation Plan, Oregon Freight Plan, Oregon Rail Plan, and Oregon Public Transportation Plan.

The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is Oregon's four-year transportation capital improvement program, identifying prioritization, funding, and scheduling of transportation projects and programs on: federal, state, county, and city transportation systems; multimodal projects (highway, passenger rail, freight, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian); and projects in National Parks, National Forests, and Indian Tribal Lands.  

Most transportation revenues derive from the State Highway Fund, which is made up of motor vehicle fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and weight-mile taxes on trucks. These revenues are apportioned 60% state, 24% counties, and %16 cities.
