  • New report looks at earthquake preparedness and response
    ​Scientists estimate a 37 percent conditional probability that a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake will strike Oregon within the next 50 years. The key to rescue efforts and to short- and long-term recovery of the state’s day-to-day services and its economy is a functioning transportation system that includes highways, bridges, waterways, aviation and marine facilities.
  • Governor proclaims May at Motorcycle Safety Month
    ​Governor Kitzhaber has proclaimed May 2013 “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month” in Oregon.
