The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is soliciting feedback through October 16th to evaluate local consultation practices regarding statewide transportation planning and programming processes. Please take a brief online survey to let ODOT know how they are doing. Access the survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LocalConsultationSurvey.

Your participation will help ODOT evaluate the agency’s effectiveness in implementing federal and state planning and public involvement regulations – ensuring effective communication between ODOT, local officials and other interested parties.

You are also welcome to review a summary of ODOT’s practices and provide any additional feedback. An overview of ODOT consultation practices is available here. Should you have any questions or comments about the survey instrument or evaluation, please contact Mary McGowan, ODOT Sr. Transportation Planner, at Mary.M.McGowan@odot.state.or.us or (503) 986-4224.
