Opening State Government to Everyone

Past, Present & Future

In 2009, through the approval of House Bill 2500, the state of Oregon enacted the Oregon Transparency Program and website legislation.

The program created an open resource where Oregon taxpayers can easily access the details on how the state is spending their tax dollars and what performance results are achieved for those expenditures.

The Transparency Oregon Advisory Commission (TOAC) was launched to provide advisement on website content and information. TOAC consists of two (2) of each of the following: State Senators, Representatives, Legislative Fiscal Office, state agency and public members.

The TOAC advises the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) on the creation, content and operation of the Oregon Transparency website, first launched in 2009.

One Stop & Multiple Resources

Transparency website visitors can find information and resources for multiple topics including public meetings, public records, state salaries, revenue, budgets and more.

The Transparency website staff conducts an annual site refresh which includes updated agency report data, content, resources and features.

Moving Foward & Future Updates

The Transparency website is slated for redesign in 2023, which will include an updated aesthetic, content, presentation and integrated information/data tools. This process includes insight from current users, agencies, committees and data to continually improve the user's experience.
