Oregon Governor Kate Brown reinstituted a transporation advisory panel to focus on long term transportation planning.
Advisory Committee Focus Will:
- Determine how much OR would have to spend to prepare its transportation to be “resilient” during a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake
- Recommend ways to promote alternative transportation to address traffic congestion
- Recommend spending levels and options to raise money for current and future transportation needs
- Recommend how OR can “encourage and adequately prepare for key technological innovations that can fundamentally improve the state transportation system in the next 30 years.”
