Region 2: Willamette Valley and North Coast

Get to Know the Region

Region 2 builds, operates and maintains the state’s multimodal transportation system in the Willamette Valley, north and central coast, Oregon Coast Range, Willamette Valley metropolitan area and central Cascade Range passes. This area covers nearly 25% of Oregon’s state highway miles. Region 2 serves the residents of Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook, Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Lincoln, Benton, Linn, Lane, western Washington and western Clackamas counties.

This region encompasses a wide range of Oregon landscapes—coastal beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, large and small cities, farmland and vineyards, forests and even hot springs. The natural beauty and the state’s two largest universities attract visitors throughout the year, contributing to a growing tourist industry and significant traffic on state-owned highways.
