Tune in to the live stream at either of these times. See the buttons.
Throughout the workshops there will be an opportunity for public participants to provide input through an online survey, and we’d like to hear from you! Can’t make it? The workshop recording will be available after the workshops.
About the Oregon Toll Program
ODOT has two toll projects underway in the Portland metro area – the I-205 Toll Project and the Regional Mobility Pricing Project – to manage traffic on I-205 and I-5 in a way that is equitable and addresses climate change while providing needed funding for critical infrastructure and safety improvements. While separate projects, they inform each other. Toll prices will be higher at peak traffic times, a concept known as “variable pricing.” With both projects:
- Drivers only pay for what they use.
- Tolls help traffic move more smoothly.
- Tolls provide a more reliable trip.
- Toll prices will not be a surprise.
The Oregon Department of Transportation invites your input to make tolls work for our community.
