What is an ACT?
An Area Commission on Transportation is an advisory body chartered by the Oregon Transportation Commission.
ODOT maintains a web site with information on ACTs. To jump to the ACT home page Click here.
Region 4 is divided into three ACTs, Lower John Day, Central Oregon, and South Central Oregon .
The ACT addresses all aspects of transportation (surface, marine, air, and transportation safety) with primary focus on the state transportation system. An ACT considers regional and local transportation issues if they affect the state system.
ACTs play a key advisory role in the development of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program , which schedules funded transportation projects. ACTs establish a public process for area project selection priorities for the STIP. Through that process they prioritize transportation problems and solutions and recommend projects in their area to be included in the STIP.
The advisory groups interact with other local organizations dealing with transportation-related issues.
The OTC expanded the opportunities for local citizen involvement in ODOT’s decision making in the fall of 1996. The OTC responded to local jurisdictions and other stakeholders asking for more opportunity to participate in the early stages of transportation project selection.
The OTC authorized regionally based transportation advisory commissions known as "area commissions on transportation" or ACTs.
