Making history: Women are leading the way to create an equitable toll program

Women in tolling

It’s Women’s History Month, and ODOT’s Urban Mobility Office is spotlighting the women leading the I-205 Toll Project and the Regional Mobility Pricing Project and the work they do to help Oregon communities thrive.

“Women play a variety of roles either in community or family. They may access transportation and have transportation needs that are different. If you don’t have them around the table, you miss a lot,” said Mandy Putney, ODOT Strategic Initiatives director managing the I-205 National Environmental Policy Act Toll Project. Learn more about how these leaders are developing an equitable toll program.


The I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project: Getting you there safer and faster

I-5 Rose Quarter Congestion

New auxiliary lanes and full shoulders will make the I-5 Rose Quarter area safer.


If you're like most travelers, you probably dread driving through the Rose Quarter area on I-5. Morning and afternoon peak commute times blend into mid-day, resulting in 12 hours of daily congestion – making it the state's worst bottleneck area, and nationally, one of the worst freight corridors. Crash rates are also 3.5 times higher than the statewide average on the I-5 Rose Quarter between I-84 and I-405 where three interstates intersect.

Learn how the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project will make travel more predictable and safer by adding new auxiliary lanes and full shoulders to smooth traffic flow.
