Oregon Toll Program

ODOT's Primary Goal is Improved Travel on I-5 and I-205

With a toll, ODOT helps meet the goal of improved travel by managing traffic flow and helping to raise revenue for infrastructure improvements. The Keep Oregon Moving legislation (House Bill 2017) established a Congestion Relief Fund, which would receive any net proceeds from tolls. The Oregon Constitution (Article IX, Section 3a) specifies that revenues collected from the use or operation of motor vehicles is spent on roadway projects, which could include construction or reconstruction of travel lanes, as well as bicycle and pedestrian facilities or transit improvements in or along the roadway.

Helping people with low incomes benefit from the toll program

One of the most pressing questions people have about tolling coming to Oregon is, “How will you help people experiencing low incomes and how are they being considered in decision-making?

In 2018, the Oregon Transportation Commission committed to addressing the needs of people experiencing low incomes. The Oregon Legislature required a report this year on progress toward meeting that goal. The report will detail how people experiencing low incomes can access the positive benefits of tolling (travel time savings, reliability, and safety), while minimizing the burden of toll fees.
