Project staff answered questions from community members at public webinars for the Regional Mobility Pricing Project.

Thank you to everyone who joined ODOT’s webinars about tolling I-5 and I-205. 

Staff responded to many questions on topics like:

  • Ways we’ll analyze and monitor potential rerouting on local streets and neighborhood impacts
  • How toll equipment and toll payment would work
  • Considerations for low-income toll discounts
  • Oregon’s transportation funding shortfall
  • How public feedback will inform the project and environmental analysis

Watch the webinar recordings from Nov. 29 or Nov. 30 to learn about the project and hear answers to some common questions. 

Share your comments on this project by this Friday, Jan. 6.
