  • Click the Submit​ button.​

In 2011, the Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 2370, establishing a requirement for cities and counties to notify the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) at least 30 days in advance of its intent to sell or transfer real property within 100 feet of railroad right-of-way or within 500 feet of an at-grade railroad crossing.  ODOT must then pass along the information to the appropriate railroad(s).  If the railroad is interested in acquiring the property, it then contacts the city or county and expresses its interest.

The Oregon Transportation Commission has approved administrative rules and ODOT prepared a notification form for this program.
