Oregon State Rail Plan
The Oregon State Rail Plan explores issues affecting the state's rail freight and passenger system. It assesses both public and private transportation at the state, regional and local level.
The 2015 Oregon Transportation Options Plan is one of several statewide transportation mode and topic plans that further refine and implement the Oregon Transportation Plan's, or OTP, goals, policies, strategies, and key initiatives.
ODOT completed an update to the Oregon Public Transportation Plan (OPTP) in 2019. The OPTP is one of several statewide transportation mode and topic plans that refine, apply, and implement the OTP.

Get Involved
The project team is currently conducting several studies to assess freight and passenger rail service in Oregon. Community input is a vital part of this process, and there will be multiple opportunities for the public to get involved and share feedback while we develop the plan update. Upcoming engagement opportunities include a second online survey, two virtual open houses, and a public hearing before the Oregon Transportation Commission considers adoption of the updated plan.

ODOT regularly collaborates with many private and public partners through the Rail Advisory Committee (RAC).
