ODOT is working to put equity at the forefront of its work. One example is creating the toll projects' Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee. Representing people with lived or professional experience in equity or mobility, this committee guides ODOT and the Oregon Transportation Commission by recommending strategies to help historically underrepresented communities or people experiencing low incomes once tolls start.

ODOT is updating the Oregon Highway Plan to modernize toll policies and connect to the state's equity and climate goals. You're invited to comment on a draft amendment to the Oregon Highway Plan that will guide the state in using tolling as a way to raise funds for transportation system improvements.
Note: The draft amendment is not about whether or not the state should toll roads; instead, it provides ODOT guidance for implementing tolls as a way to reduce congestion and raise funds for transportation.
