There are three advisory committees:
NOTE: The Citizen’s Advisory Committee and the Environmental Justice Work Group were established in January 2003 at the beginning of the I-5 Delta Park project planning process. They completed their work in June 2004 by making recommendations to the Oregon Department of Transportation on the preferred alternatives for the project. Their recommendations are included in the Environmental Assessment for the project.
The Community Enhancement Advisory Board was established in Fall 2005 and will complete their work in Fall 2006 finalizing community enhancement projects that should be constructed as a part of the I-5 Delta Park project.
The Citizens Advisory Committee
The charge to the Citizen Advisory Committee and its membership follows:
“The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is composed of neighborhood, business, and other community representatives. A separate Environmental Justice Work Group has worked in close coordination with the CAC on Environmental Justice Issues.

- Public outreach tools and methods
- Problem statement, purpose and need
- Goals and objectives
- Design alternatives
- Evaluation criteria and measures for selecting design alternatives to be evaluated in an Environmental Assessment
- Environmental, social, and economic elements to be evaluated in an Environmental Assessment
- Mitigation Measures

The Environmental Justice Work Group
The charge to the Environmental Justice Work Group and its members follows:
"The Environmental Justice Work Group (EJWG) is a bi-state committee composed of representatives of low income and minority communities in the I-5 Partnership transportation corridors in Oregon and Washington. Establishing The Environmental Justice Work group was a recommendation contained in the I-5 Transportation and Trade Partnership Task Force Strategic Plan.
The Environmental Justice Work Group collaborates with ODOT and other stakeholders in the development of transportation projects in the I-5 Partnership transportation corridors. Specifically, the EJWG is asked to provide input and recommendations on projects from an environmental justice perspective. In providing input and recommendations the EJWG should concentrate on helping the transportation decision-makers ensure that projects:
- Include full and fair participation by all potentially affected low income and minority communities in the transportation decision-making process
- Avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations.
- Do not deny, reduce, or significantly delay benefits to minority and low-income populations.
To carry out its charge for this project, the EJWG will provide input and recommendations on the same project elements as the Citizens Advisory Group."
