The Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee for the I-205 Toll Project and the Regional Mobility Pricing Project will meet Wednesday, July 28, 3:30 to 5 p.m.
At this meeting:
- EMAC will identify preferred options for neighborhood health and safety policies and strategies.
- ODOT will learn from EMAC about what support is needed to help them develop recommendations to the Oregon Transportation Commission on transit and multimodal transportation options, neighborhood health and safety, and to address impacts to people experiencing low incomes.
- EMAC and ODOT will talk about what they are hearing from the community.
Committee members are a key link between the project and communities around the Portland metro area, including Southwest Washington. They help solicit feedback and participation from youth, older adults, Black, Indigenous, people of color, and multi-racial people, people who may speak a language other than English, and people living with a disability.

About the committee: The Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee works to prioritize equity and mobility in designing the I-205 Toll Project and Regional Mobility Pricing Project. This committee is a group of individuals with professional or lived experience in equity and mobility coming together to advise the Oregon Transportation Commission and ODOT on how tolls on I-205 and I-5 freeways, in combination with other traffic demand management strategies, can include benefits for populations that have historically and currently been underrepresented or underserved by transportation projects.
