The Governor’s Transportation Vision Panel (GVTP) is hosting a series of regional forums across the state. These two-hour forums will provide an opportunity to seek local input and solutions to the regional needs and priorities of Oregon’s transportation system.
Vision Panel representatives will provide a brief overview of the Panel’s preliminary findings to date, and lead a conversation to elicit participants’ perspectives on how the transportation system can support their region’s economic needs and priorities. The Vision Panel will use regional forum participants input to refine their recommendations to the Governor on the future of Oregon’s transportation system. Click here to see the forum nearest you.
This is a great opportunity for you to remind panel members that focus needs to be given to the operations and maintenance problems throughout the entire integrated transportation system maintained by the state, counties, and cities. Counties face a $505 million shortfall each year while trying maintain and preserve our roads, bridges, and culverts. Check out the 2014 County Road Needs Study for more information.
