Agenda items include a status report on actions taken by the 2003 Legislative Assembly and an update on the mileage fee concept.

The Oregon Legislature established the Task Force in the 2001 legislative session to examine every possible revenue option for transportation funding. As fuel efficiency increases and new fuel sources become more widespread, such as fuel cells and hybrid electric vehicles, the funds available to construct and maintain roads and bridges is projected to decrease. The mission of the Task Force is to recommend an alternative funding system to the Legislature and sponsor a pilot program to determine feasibility and public acceptance for the most promising revenue options.
