Maintaining our transportation system is something most people can agree governments should do. But governments across the US are cutting back on maintenance. Why is that? Watch this video to learn how transportation agencies are grappling with flattening and declining fuels tax revenues, increasing inflation, and legal restrictions on available funding. It also outlines possible solutions to better maintain our transportation system and keep travelers safe. As Oregon lawmakers explore solutions, they are also seeking community guidance as they plan a 2025 transportation package. How would you like Oregon to maintain a safe, accessible and reliable multimodal transportation system for years to come? Today, the Oregon Legislature's Joint Committee on Transportation is kicking off their 12-stop Transportation Safety and Sustainability Outreach Tour in Portland.

About us
The Oregon Department of Transportation is an award-winning organization, more than 4,500 employees strong. Together, we provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. Transportation in Oregon is a multi-billion dollar investment in our people, our environment and our state. Almost every aspect of life is affected one way or another by transportation. With 96,000 square miles of land, we must have a safe, dependable system — and in Oregon, that includes highways, passenger and freight rail, public transit and non-motorized transportation. Over the past several years, Oregonians have opted to invest in the state’s transportation infrastructure. This commitment to a sound transportation system is creating opportunities for engineers, planners, maintenance and construction workers, information systems specialists, accountants, customer service representatives, inspectors, policy analysts and other knowledgeable employees. Consider a career with the Oregon Department of Transportation. Live and work among tall mountains, surrounded by sandy ocean beaches and clear blue lakes, in the grassy valleys or on the high desert, in the big city or in a small country town. Oregon has it all — just waiting for you to discover; waiting for you to make your mark. For job opportunities, visit www.odotjobs.com or email ODOTRecruitment@odot.oregon.gov.

Hundreds of people from Oregon and the Pacific Northwest gathered for networking and learning at the recent PODER Hispanic Breakfast - and among them, Small Business Navigators like Omar Alvarado and Joe Hanseling with our Office of Equity and Civil Rights, were there to provide information to business owners about our resources and business opportunities. For ODOT employees in attendance, events like these provide us a chance to introduce people to our programs and services and help us make connections to peers throughout the region. PODER, the organizer of the event, is Oregon's Latino Leadership Network, a nonprofit organization made up of over 3,200 Latino leaders, organizations, businesses, public employees, community members and allies across Oregon. The Sept. 13 event served as the kickoff of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15). Coordinators said the event, "...transcends mere celebration - it signifies a collective stride towards envisioning a future abundant with inclusivity and opportunity."
