Our Commitment to Equal Access
ODOT is committed to providing equal access to our facilities, programs and services. We honor and respect our individual differences and we work to ensure that people from diverse backgrounds have equitable opportunities, both internally and externally, to work for and conduct business with ODOT.
ODOT is responsible for state and interstate highways. We are also responsible for much of the sidewalk, curb ramps and other roadway features that help to make communities livable.
We created an Americans with Disabilities Act Program that provides structures and processes for the agency. We recognize that because of the complexity of both the law and agency operations, a programmatic approach is required to ensure ADA is addressed in a complete, consistent, compliant and rigorous manner.
Employment
We are committed to fostering a diverse workplace that represent the communities we serve. ODOT is an Equal Employment Opportunity-Affirmative Action employer and does not discriminate on the basis of disability in hiring or employment practices, and complies with all regulations of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the ADA.
Job applicants with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation during the application/interview process. Contact the Employee Civil Rights & Diversity manager, 1-877-EEO-ODOT (336-6368).
Accommodations
You may request reasonable accommodation to ODOT services, programs and events. Requests may include but are not limited to:
- Printed materials in alternative formats
