Keep Oregon Moving - Motor Carriers' Investments

Investments in Transportation

Oregon is making major investments to benefit everyone who uses the state's transportation system, thanks to a funding package passed by the 2017 and 2018 Legislature.

The package will raise funds from a variety of sources, including registration fees and weight-mile taxes on commercial vehicles, as well as passenger vehicle-related fees and other transportation fees.
